Sorry. The longer version of what I am doing is

NetcdfFile ncf = NetcdfDataset.acquireFile (String,null);
NetcdfDataset ncd = new NetcdfDataset (ncf);

The latter constructor uses whatever defaultEnhanceMode has
been set to. Since I never touch it, it is set to EnhanceAll
according to the NJ source code that I downloaded recently.
