Unfortunately, the original is set of FrameMaker documents, not latex.
The process of creating the C and Fortran User's Guide from a single
parameterized source is a bit tedious, so we don't do it very often.
However, we will soon be releasing a minor netCDF revision (version
3.5 with a few bug fixes and portability enhancements) and at that
time we'll also remake the User's Guides.  I intended to create PDF
versions of both guides as well as Postscript, but I'll also try to
make A4 versions at the same time.  This will probably be in about a
month.  In the mean time, if you need printed copy sooner, I would be
happy to mail you a printed copy of each Guide if you reply with a
mailing address.

Let me know if the original FrameMaker source would be of any use to
you also, since I could make that available fairly easily.
