That's wonderful, thanks for all the effort that went into the
Japanese version of the manual.  

I suggest that we include a link to your version of the manual from
our netCDF documentation web page at 

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

and I'll also create an entry announcing the new manual for the
"What's New with NetCDF" page at

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

The URL we link to would be maintained by you, unless you have
difficulty acquiring persistent web space for such a document, in
which case we would be happy to provide space on our host.

So please just send me a URL that I can use, and I'll let you know
when I have the above changes made, subject to your approval.  We may
also want to announce the existence of the new document to the
netcdfgroup mailing list.

Just for your information, my 16-year-old daughter Keely is currently
taking a beginning Japanese language course, which she will continue
next year in high school.  She is very interested in Japanese popular
culture (Anime, J-pop music, etc.).  She might be surprised to learn
that something I helped write has been translated into a language that
makes it worth reading :-) ...
