Hi Tom,
I'm afraid that I've moved past the problem and don't have an example
I can provide any more. I tried various solutions, including using
the HDF library, which I got working for reading but not writing
netCDF files. What I remember is that retrieved floating point values
were wrong - they were all way too small.
I downloaded the NetCDF User's Guide and wrote my own interface
entirely in Java using the RandomAccessFile class to read or write
classic netCDF files. However, there is a performance penalty using
this class that I hope to do some experimenting with to see if I can
speed up the accesses.
However, thanks for following up.

Hi John....
The netCDF classes in the VisAD library are there mainly to support
the Plain class, and were coded many years ago. For non-VisAD Java
applications, I would recommend using the netCDF-java jar file
(available from Unidata:
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/>.
I would be interested in knowing what the "file/library/Java
inconsisteny" is that you are seeing, though....
I hope this helps.
