Thanks for the reply,
Ive got netcdf v3.5 working on VC++ v 6.0 (Under Windows 98) in an MFC
application just fine(so far...). I did no modifications to the
msoft.mak
and when running the test in /nc_test i got no failures...My problem, Im
embarrassed to say, was that i was not linking to the library in the
project
settings link tab. Also FYI, I was able to compile and run successfully
an
example program given in your support database - Subject: Re: 19990924:
nc_inc_var of netcdf....

We are hoping to use netCDF as a common database for numerical models of
flow and sediment transport in rivers.

Thanks,
rich

cmp is a Unix utility; I dont know of any equivalent that comes with NT.
MKS sells a package that duplicates cmp and other unix utilities (like
vi!). We use it for our testing (~$400). There might be some freeware
out there also.
