You could port your code to use the UDUNITS-2 package. It's capabilities are a superset of the UDUNITS-1 package, so porting shouldn't be difficult. If you're *only* using the UDUNITS package for its calendaring support, then I'd recommend using another package. I think the netCDF-4 package uses the calendaring system of the CDAT package. I've CC'ed this reply to the netCDF group in case they have something to add. > Best Regards, > Pavel > > -- > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Pavel Michna (PhD Student) Tel: +41 (0)31 631 85 42 > Climatology and Meteorology (KLIMET) Fax: +41 (0)31 631 85 11 > Institute of Geography E-Mail: address@hidden > University of Bern > Hallerstrasse 12 > CH-3012 Bern/Switzerland > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: GOK-141555 Department: Support UDUNITS Priority: Normal Status: Closed
