Alan,

The example I sent showed how you could use the UNLIMITED dimension to
have more than one variable with more than 2 Gbytes of data in a
netCDF file.  It's not necessary to use the UNLIMITED dimension, but
if you don't, only one variable can exceed 2 Gbytes in size.

Sorry, but I don't think we have access to a 64-bit AIX platform for
testing.  We do have an AIX system running AIX 4.3, but it's only a
32-bit PowerPC machine.  So I don't know what flags the AIX compilers
require to build a working 64-bit version of the library ...

Maybe you could ask the address@hidden mailing list.
That's over 1000 netCDF users and perhaps someone out there has
already figured out what's needed.  I think you have to join the
mailing list before you can post to it, and you can find out how to
join here:
