Hello,

the web page for NF_INQ_DIMIDS:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-f77/NF_005fINQ_005fDIMIDS.html

Says this:
-----------------------
Usage

     INTEGER FUNCTION NF_INQ_DIMIDS(INTEGER NCID, INTEGER DIMIDS,
INTEGER INCLUDE_PARENTS)

NCIDThe group id for this operation.
DIMIDSAn array of ints when the dimids of the visible dimensions will be
stashed. Use nf_inq_ndims to find out how many dims are visible from this
group. (see NF_INQ
Family<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-f77/NF_005fINQ-Family.html#NF_005fINQ-Family>).

INCLUDE_PARENTSIf zero, only the group specified by NCID will be searched
for dimensions. Otherwise parent groups will be searched too.
------------------

But this is wrong. The proper call list is (ncid, NDIMS, dimids,
include_parents).

Regards,

--Dave
