Thanks for developing this, making it available, and sending us
information about it.  In addition to adding an entry to the list of
freely available netCDF software at:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/software.html#Panoply

I hope you don't mind that I've also added a short announcement about
it to the "What's New with NetCDF?" web page:

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

Please let me know if you want anything added to the short entry, or
if you would rather I change the other entry in any way.

And on behalf of the netCDF user community, thanks again for your
contribution!  Your name has also been added to the netCDF Credits
page:
