No, sorry, there are no plans for implementing that functionality in netCDF in the near future, and I don't know of any workaround in the current implementation that will allow you to do that. It seems like a very useful capability, and perhaps we can consider eventually implementing it for netCDF-4. --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/russ
