OK, I've just updated the catalog of contributed software at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/contrib.html our FTP directory of contributed software at ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/ and our "What's New" page for netCDF to mention your new contributed programs ncks and ncrename. Since I copied your FTP files, please let me know when you update them again so I can grab the latest copies. Thanks! --Russ
