Is anything like an interface to MPI-IO planned? Yes, that's exactly what's planned. The netCDF-4 interface will be layered on the HDF5 file format, and we plan to use MPI-IO, as HDF5 does. We may be able to just use the HDF5 MPI-IO facilities. If you have good ideas about this, please let us know. I hope to hire a developer to start the work by June. --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://my.unidata.ucar.edu
