Jack,

[Sorry for the delay.  Because of the MyDoom worm, I consider email

"syntax error" eh?  That's rather an odd error (I haven't seen it before).
It could either be due to the use of a yacc-based parser created on a
non-Cygwin system or the file "test0.cdl" could have been corrupted.

Please send me the file "ncdump/test0.cdl".

Does your Cygwin have yacc(1), bison(1), lex(1), or flex(1)?
