   Yes it is a UNIX/Linux based one and that seems to be ok according to 
folks at Columbia.  Unfortunately even though the Win32 Lahey compiler "is 
the same" as the Linux one according to Lahey there are still issues.  At 
present I am rather close though.  I had to modify configure to take into 
account that Lahey uses .obj files under Win32 and that -o <filename> is 
-out <filename>.  I then had to change the fortran/*.c files so to account 
for the extra "_"s due to the nf/nc naming convention:

   #define nf_open_ nf_open
   FCALLSCFUN3(NG_INT....

the internal libname is mangled to that nf_open does not become _nf_open_ 
but rather _nf_open__.  Now it is a matter of getting lahey to recognize 
the embedded libs in libnetcdf.a (C routines).

   If you have any more suggestions that would be great.  If not then oh 
well.  Either way once I have this all figured out I'll email you guys the 
bits that you need to add or should add to your distribution.
