The above message contained the following:

Send me the output from the following:

    $ echo '#include <stddef.h>
    ptrdiff_t ptrdiff;
    size_t size;' >a.c
    $ cc -E +DD64 -D_HPUX_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 a.c | grep ptrdiff_t
    ...
    $ cc -E +DD64 -D_HPUX_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 a.c | grep size_t
    ...

This wouldn't work because the Fortran netCDF interface uses the C
netCDF implementation.

The latest and best is

    ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-3.5.1-beta13.tar.Z

The "beta" doesn't mean that it's less stable than version 3.5.0.
