If you don't have NMAKE but instead have some other version of the "make" program with a different development environment, you may be able to use that instead. If you don't have a compiler installed, then perhaps you should be using a binary installation instead of trying to build the binaries from source. You can get the binaries and install them without compiling anything by getting the file ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.4.win32bin.zip --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
