Yes, Barry Schwartz's problem was solved just by getting the latest
version available at the time (netCDF version 3.3.1) which contained a
fix for a problem in the netcdf 3.3 version he had been using.  See

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/netcdf/2768
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/netcdf/2769
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/netcdf/2770

for the correspondence about the resolution of the problem.

If you still have problems and you are using netcdf-3.3.1 or netcdf-3.4,
and can send us a small example that lets us reproduce the problem,
maybe we can help.  If it's a problem with GENNET, I'd have to refer you
to Barry Schwartz <address@hidden>.
