Have you asked the vendors of the Intel or PGI compilers about the problem? Another possibility is posing the question on the netcdfgroup mailing list. If you decided to do that, it would be fine to say that Unidata has been unable to solve the problem. Sorry we can't be of more help at this time. Maybe when I get back from an ESRI meeting next week, I'll be able to look at this more closely ... --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: XZZ-151006 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
