Hi Brice,

It sure has been (December 9!) :-)

I have not seen this behavior, but I am not greatly suprised.  The
netCDF ADDE server needs some close attention to make it more useful.
Since there is interest here at the UPC for added functionality in the
server, I will add looking at the code to my list of development
projects.

It will be very useful to get a test dataset that shows the failure so
I can find the problem you are seeing.  The problem with getting it
rignt now is that I will be heading to the airport in about three hours
to fly to Brazil.  I won't be returning until September 13.

>Thanks,

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
