Try using the 3.4 version of ncdump that we built for NT:

machine: ftp.unidata.ucar.edu
user: anonymous
pass: address@hidden
directory: pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.4.win32bin.zip

While your are in the directory, check out the README and WIN32_INSTALL
documents.  An additional comment is that there are two versions of
ncdump and ncgen in the zip file: the copies that have the 's' (e.g.
ncdumps.exe) are linked statically so they don't need/use the DLL.

It is likely that your problem with the older ncdump.exe is that it
will not run in your win3.1 or NT environments.  It is also possible,
however, that the netCDF file that you were trying to look at was
damaged in some way.
