Hi there Russ,

Thanks for the info.  I have downloaded the DOS netCDF and XDR
libraries from the above mentioned places.  When I tried to
compile a simple Fortran program, I received a list of errors
with "unresolved externals".  It seems that my fortran program
is trying to call the fortran named routines in the library
files but the module names in the libraries are the C version.

Is there another compiled library for Fortran calls or am I 
completely "off" in my thinking?

I hope this makes sense and you would be able to sort out
my total confusion.  ;)

Thanks in advance,

Jim Young
