Hi Joe, Last week, you pointed out: > ... I notice that the README file in > ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib > seems out of date. > > It mentions: > cdcncdump > Don Hooper's version of ncdump that interprets udunits times (e.g., > seconds since a basetime) in a more human-readable fashion (date and > time). > > I can't locate this package in the 'contrib' directory. > > The same issue occurs in > http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/mfs/04/contrib.html I deleted the bad entry, but it turns out that the referenced software, cdcncdump, is available and supported at a different site: ftp://ftp.cdc.noaa.gov/Software/cdcncdump/ I've corrected the README and HTML file. --Russ
