Re: 20030224: netCDF for Windows XP?

Hi Colin:

I assume you want to just use ncdump program? Normally you would use the 
netcdf library within a program you are writing, which would require 
that you have a C compiler.

Anyway, go to Control Panel - System - Advanced - Environment variables. 
Edit the one thats called "Path" and add the directory that ncdump.exe 
lives in. Start up a _new_  shell window, type "env" and make sure the 
path is correctly specified. if so, type "ncdump -h <filename>" and see 
that it works.
