Hi Keith, I noticed you mentioned CRDtools in a reply to a question on the netcdfgroup mailing list. I'd like to add a reference to this software in my WWW document summarizing available software for use with netCDF data at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/utilities.html I've appended a draft, borrowing liberally from the brief summary at http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/cdc/cdc_software.html However, I've noticed that references to the .shtml files don't seem to work, at least from the Netscape browser I'm using. For example, when I click on the reference to http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/~crdc/crdtools/README.shtml I get: 403 Forbidden Your client does not have permission to get URL /~crdc/crdtools/README.shtml from this server. so I can't use this link. Should I change this link to something else, or just omit it? If you would like me to make any other changes to this, or can suggest someone else I should send this to, please let me know. Thanks. --Russ <h2><a name="CRDtools">CRDtools</a></h2> The Climate Research Data Tools (CRDtools) toolkit of X Windows applications for providing data extraction, analysis, and visualization functions for the climatology researcher is under development by the <a href="http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/">NOAA Climate Diagnostics Center</a>.
