Jens,

That is where I found it as well.

This is strange.  I thought that the Quick-C and full C versions of the
MS compilers were equivalent.

We have tested the netCDF with MS C Versions 5.1 and 6.0 and MS Fortran
Version 5.1.

>I would appreciate 
>if they also supports my graphics routines. 

Since I don't know what routines you need, I can't comment on whether or not
they are supported.

>I tend to like Borlands products and colleagues here recommend Watcom. 

We have not tested the netCDF using either of these.  I do know, however,
that there are some in the Unidata netCDF community that have use Borland
compiler(s).  They have had to modify the makefile(s) of course.  You could
send out a general request to address@hidden for more information.

>My joy of Microsoft is more tempered, but if I have to I have to. Also, is 
>there any chance units for turbo Pascal?

We have no support and have no plans for supporting Pascal.

>I have many years of proven and dependable programs in Pascal. Would be nice 
>to use them with netcdf files. 

You could also ask the netcdfgroup as a whole if anyone has done a port of
the netCDF to Pascal (i.e. provided an interface in a manner that is
analagous to the Fortran interface that we provided).
