          Hello,

             I am with USDA-ARS developing a public domain
          watershed-based physical process model to simulate non-point
          source pollution from continuous runoff events (or AGNPS for
          short).  The above probably doesn't concern you, but one of
          our requirments is to read NetCDF input/output.  We are
          using a PC developement environment but are targeting both
          PC's and Unix Operating Sys's.  To make it more interesting,
          we are required to do this using the Fortran programming
          language with a subset of the Fortran 90 enhancements.  Our
          Fortran development tools include: MS Fortran Powerstation
          version 1.0a, MS Fortran Powerstation version 4.0, and Lahey
          Fortran 90.  My experience is in Borland C++ (while not
          using the object features very much), so I am climbing a
          steep learning curve on this project.
             I have downloaded most of your literature on NetCDF as
          well as the software for version 2.3.2.  In going through
          your install document, I skipped ahead (as directed) to the
          DOS section and implemented steps 1 and 2.  Step 3 deals
          with OS/2, and now I am having problems with step 4.
             I am using the NMAKE utility from MS Fortran Powerstation
          1.0c.  I have tried several procdures, some of which I will
          list:

          C:\NETCDF23\NMAKE all --> This returns the following
                                    recursive message:
                  ""
                  Invalid Keyword -= 'echo
                  Bad Command or File Name
                  Bad Command or File Name
                  ""
                  "Returning to Directory 'pwd'"
                  ""

                                --> I get the same results from NMAKE
                                    test and NMAKE install.

          C:\NETCDF23\NMAKE /D[isplay] MAKEFILE.IN  --> Successfull ??

                   makefile.in                  Wed Dec 06 09:47:12 95
                  'makefile.in' is up-to-date

          C:\NETCDF23\NMAKE MSOFT.MK  --> Successfull ??(I think)??

                  'msoft.mk' is up-to-date


             Somewhere I am missing a step because I cannot link the
          example programs from Borland C or MS Fortran.  I downloaded
          the Borland NetCDF and XDR libraries from your site as well
          with no luck.
             Please direct me towards getting the correct PC libraries
          up and running (linkable) on my machine.  Thanks for any
          help you can offer.
