To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what the status is on that platform.
The offical release of netcdf-3 includes an "new" way of doing the
fortran calling C stuff. This has not worked on most exotic platforms,
and I've spent the last month beating on the responsible parties to get
is as rugged and portable as the C library.

The good news is that we are almost there.

I'll keep you posted.

In the interium, there should be a working version in the 'ncar' account
on t90. This uses the old m4 way of doing the fortran to C bridge, and
just has the old netcdf-2 Fortran interfaces.
