The missing netCDF operators don't yet exist.  We had to postpone
working on them while we devoted our resources to developing an Internet
data distribution system.  I don't know when we'll return to them.

There's also the possibility that further development will take a
different tack.  For example, we might decide to implement the operator
suite using an interpreted "extention" language such as perl(1).

I hope this isn't too inconvenient.
