The latest released version (netcdf 2.3.2pl2) was built and tested on both
MSDOS and OS/2 platforms, and passed our tests in both cases.  We intend to
test the next version (2.4) on MSDOS and OS/2 platforms to make sure it
works there.  We've never done anything explicitly for OS/2, but just ported
to MSDOS and noted that that version seemed to work fine on OS/2.  We have
some compiled MSDOS libraries and executables for MSDOS that should work on
OS/2 as well in the directory:

    ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/msdos/

If the latest version of OS/2 requires something else, we'd like to know
about it and would appreciate any help you could provide in solving the
problems.  Thanks for the offer of help.
