> 1) In the following web, in its "NetCDF 64-bit Offset Format Limitations"
> section.
> 
> http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/file_structure_and_performance.html#offset_format_limitations
> 
> No fixed-size variable can require more than 2^32 - 4 bytes (i.e. 4GiB
> [I think there should be a "-" hyphen sign here, instead of the bullet
> in the following line]
> 
> * 4 bytes, or 4,294,967,292 bytes) of storage for its data, unless it
> is the last fixed-size variable and there are no record variables. When
> there are no record variables, the last fixed-size variable can be
> any size supported by the file system, e.g. terabytes.
> 
> 2)  I think a similar typo happens in:
> 
> http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf_data_set_components.html#background
> 
> John Caron released netCDF for Java, version 2.0 in February [I think
> there should not be a "new line" here, and the following "1" should be
> "1st"]
> 
> 1. This version incorporated a new high-performance package for
> multidimensional arrays, simplified the interface, and included OpenDAP
> (known previously as DODS) remote access, as well as remote netCDF access
> via HTTP contributed by Don Denbo.
> 
> 3) In the description of the netCDF command line utilities, the font
> format for the description of "ncdump" and "nccopy" options is different
> compared to "ncgen" and "ncgen3". Just an aesthetic detail.

> 
> 4)  "Error Handling" section is empty. Is it intended?
