Well, there's always "ncdump", which is actually a pretty simple use of
the netCDF read interfaces to find out what's in a generic file.  But
it's certainly not as simple as a demo could be.

Another source of demos is to use "ncgen -c" on a CDL file to generate
the netCDF C code needed to create the corresponding netCDF file, to
demonstrate the write side of using netCDF.

And there are a few examples in our
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/ directory from other
users.

But I still think your suggestion is a good one.  I'll keep my eye out
for demo candidates.  Thanks for the suggestion.
