I don't think the problem lies with the FORTRAN interface.  I just built
a modified version of your `netcdf.f' program (I added a printing of
variable `ihgt500' after reading it in and then an immediate call to
exit().  Here's the first page of output:

shavano$ cf77 -c  netcdf.f
shavano$ cf77 -o netcdf netcdf.o ../libsrc/libnetcdf.a
shavano$ ./netcdf
 netCDF file = z500

As you can see, the values look Ok.  It therefore appears that the 
problem lies elsewhere in the program.

Please let me know if this helps.
