Thanks for the information.  Lloyd Treinish had told me about this
back in June, but I neglected to follow up on it at the time.

I've fixed our web page as you suggest, except I linked to the "About
OpenDX" web page at

  http://www.opendx.org/about.html

instead of the OpenDX home page, since it seems to have more relevant
information and still has links to the other pages on the site.

I also added a short entry to our "What's New with netCDF?" page at

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/whatsnew.html

I plan to post an announcement to the netcdfgroup mailing list as
well, since this is good news for netCDF users.
