>From: address@hidden >Organization: University of Oklahoma >Keywords: 199511072242.AA26047 netCDF Tim, Hi Tim, long time no hear! >Can you tell me the email address to send enquiries about netCDF software, You can send questions directly to Unidata User Support at the address you sent this note to: address@hidden. If there is a question that concerns the netCDF community, you can send a note to the netCDF group: address@hidden. >or please forward this to the appropriate address? The question is: > >Is there DOS or OS/2 software to support netCDF data access? Yes. >I would be >happy with utilities that only READ data from netCDF files, but would like >utilities to write data under those operating systems as well. We support netCDF on OS/2 1.2/3 using the Microsoft C 6.0 and Fortran 5.1 compilers. We have on MSDOS using the same compilers. Others in the community have built using different compilers. >If there is, please send me information on how I might obtain the software. The best thing to do is to get to our WWW Homepage: URL: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/ Go to the entry labeled netCDF and you can get all the information that you need (including which platforms are supported). >Thanks Talk to you later... >Tim Hughes >Oklahoma Climatological Survey >"address@hidden" Tom Yoksas >From address@hidden Tue Nov 7 23:35:29 1995 >Thanks for the info.. I'll look it right up. >I do have an idea to pitch to Dave Fulker sometime - has to do with >coordinating an effort to consolidate data from the ever-growing number of >RWIS (road-weather information systems) that are going in across the country. >I'm getting the impression that some people (like folks in Minnesota) are >wanting to move away from the closed systems that the vendors (like SSI and >Vaisala) are offering. I might go to a workshop on this in December so I'll >learn more there. If you've heard much from folks in this field, let me >know your impression. >Thanks again. Tim
