Hi David- > Don, no problem.. thanks for the update. dy So, just after I sent that, I got word of the update. Download the following file: ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf-java/v2.2.22/nc2.2.jar and place it in the IDV installation directory (make a backup of the existing nc2.2.jar first). It will also be in the nightly build of the IDV tomorrow. BTW, John Caron says: >However, the file that was sent is seriously bolloxed up: the links are >>incorrect, creating infinite loops. >also, it has a global attribute: > >:missing_value = -8.9999998E15f; // float > >which is ignored, which may or may not be a problem. This doesn't seem to affect the display in the IDV, but just FYI.
