Bill -

I can see why you would want to compile the netCDF library using -r8 
if you expect your Fortran 77 codes to be compiled with the same 
flag. If you use the Fortran 90 interface, though, I think the 
overloading should take care of your worries automatically.

What I'd suggest as a work-around, then, is for you to re-compile the 
netCDF libraries and Fortran 90 module using the standard compilation 
environment (i.e. -r4 -i4 -64, though that should be the default). 
You can compile your own code any way you like. These flags should be 
irrelevant to the linker.

I'll be curious to know if the attributes are written and read 
correctly in that case.

As I told Russ, my abilty to support the Fortran 90 interface as a 
volunteer is pretty limited these days. I hope it won't slow you down 
if I'm not able to be completely responsive.
