Yes, in fact the current netCDF-4.1.2 daily snapshot contains the 2.1.21 udunits release, which was just integrated into the package. The integration required some minor autotools configure changes, changing 11 files. Thanks for letting us know about the old udunits version. We could easily have missed this without a reminder from an alert user. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: UVA-971071 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
