(But still, why did the > "NCSNC" not synch with disk?) I don't know why both the NC_SHARE mode and explicit calls to NCSNC are necessary in order to obtain synchronized behavior. If it's any consolation, I also expected that only NCSNC calls would suffice. Unfortunately, the fellow who wrote the code and would know the reason why both these features are necessary (Glenn Davis) died in a small plane crash in May. > Sorry to have been such a trouble over this... -- Carlie Don't be. You've discovered a possible incompatibility between version 2 and version 3 of the netCDF package. We'll have to think about it here. Incidentally, you might not be able to creaate the file with the NF_SHARE mode-bit set using the netCDF version 2 API (though you can with the version 3 API). Please let me know if you have problems with this. -------- Steve Emmerson <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu>
