Dave,

There are a variety of packages that can work with data in netCDF
format that run under Win2k, but they may not fit the categorization
of being a command line utility.  I can suggest, however, that the
ncdump and ncgen applications that come as part of the netCDF
distribution do fit that bill: ncdump can read netCDF files and
output data in ASCII, and ncgen can read data in ASCII and output
the data in netCDF.  Whether or not these will do the things you
have in mind is best answered by yourself.
