Source distributions are available via anonymous FTP from the directory

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

or from the European mirror site at 

    ftp://ftp.dfd.dlr.de/pub/ucar/netCDF/

Files in that directory include: 

    netcdf.tar.Z 
        A compressed tar file of source code for the latest general
        release, version 2.4.3, August 1996.

This and other information about netCDF is available from the netCDF
Frequently Asked Questions list at

    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/faq.html

The current release of netCDF has been built and tested on a Digital
MicroVAX running OpenVMS-6.2 (except the C++ interface was not tested).

Unfortunately we have no access to a Digital Alpha running OpenVMS, and
have had no reports of success building the latest release of netCDF on
that platform.  If you succeed, we would be interested in knowing about
any changes that were required.
