The most recent work I've done with the SX-4 is
on sx4.hstc.necsyl.com in /home/cust/ncar1/netcdf-3.3beta.

(There are no relevant differences between the "beta" there
and the release you find at our ftp site.)

This system is at 7.1 now, and I presume it was last week when
we did the build. I did not notice that there had been an upgrade,
the SX-4 information in our INSTALL document says 6.2 incorrectly.
Otherwise, we the info in the INSTALL document represents the current state
of affairs. There are some problems with the _new_ fortran interface
and perhaps 'ncgen -f'. Programs which use the netcdf-2 fortran interface
(eg, any existing netcdf FORTRAN programs) should work.

The objects in /home/cust/ncar1/netcdf-3.3a may be from SUPER-UX 6.2,
check the dates. For programs using the netcdf-2 interface, it is not
significantly different from the current release.

We have some open issues with your NEC engineering staff, particularly
a problem with the C preprocessor, which inhibit our ability to verify the
port to SX-4. Greg Neill (address@hidden) has be sheparding this through.

Hope this helps.
