Sean, > Thanks for your response, Russ. You're welcome. I added the information you provided into our "Other Builds" web page, so Google and other users can find it: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/other-builds.html#nagfor-5.3 Please let me know if you need to make any changes or additions to that entry. --Russ > The modifications I had to make were fairly mild, so I'm not personally > too concerned about the lack of support.
