Tim,

The netCDF distribution is "one size fits all".  If you are going to build
the distribution, you FTP the package and build it according to the 
instructions (following the caveats I listed in an earlier message and
you have included below).

If you are using a web browser, then  you can get to the distribution at:

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

There you will find several files/directory of interest.  In particular, the
current distribution is contained in:  netcdf.tar.Z.  To unpack this, you
will have to have an uncompress for DOS or OS/2 or you could uncompress
it on a Unix box and move it down to the PC.  You could also go to the
msdos subdirectory (ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/msdos/) and
get the distribution as a ZIP file:

NETCDF.ZIP

Is there something else you are asking about that I am missing?  If
so, please let me know.

As for this list, you can look at the FAQ and see which platforms
Version 2.3.2 runs on:

Platforms and Portability

What does netCDF run on?

Version 2.3.2 of netCDF has been tested on the following platforms:

   * AIX-3.2 (see note below on AIX)
   * HPUX-9.0 (see note below on HPUX)
   * IRIX-4.0.5F (see note below on IRIX)
   * MSDOS-5.0
   * NeXTOS-3.0
   * OS/2-1.2
   * OSF1-1.2
   * Solaris-2.3
   * SunOS-4.1.3
   * UNICOS-6.1.6
   * Ultrix-4.3
   * VMS-5.5-2

In addition to OS/2 1.2, I know that it runs on OS/2 1.3 and should run
on OS/2 2.x and 3.0 (Warp).
