Re: 20050816: netcdf libraries

Hi Steve,

    I'd like to take a look at your dcreanal2.  Where can I find it?  Do
I need a more recent version than GEMPAK 5.7.4?  It seems much easier to
use your program than deal with libraries.

    Also, do you have a mailing list to notify users of the availibility
of GEMPAK updates?  If so, I'd like to add myself to the list.

You give the greatest support, Dorothy.
