To use or not to use the netCDF package is your decision.  We are
willing to help you if you decide to use it.

nmake is a DOS utility that you can use to build a package.  I forget
where it comes from.

XDR is a library for converting between the native representation of,
for example, a floating-point value and its external (i.e. on disk)
representation.  netCDF files are accessible from different systems
because the data is stored in a standard way (the XDR way) rather than
in the native way of the machine.

The XDR library for a DOS system is found in the xdr/ subdirectory of
the netCDF distribution.
