Hi James:

yes, version 2.2.06 should work on NIDS data; its already registered.

Just open it as if its a netcdf file, eg

   NetcdfDataset ncfile = null;
   try {
     ncfile = NetcdfDataset.openDataset( location, addCoords, task);
     if (ncfile == null) {
       JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "NetcdfDataset.open cant 
open "+location);
     }
   } catch (IOException ioe) {
      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "NetcdfDataset.open cant open 
"+ioe.getMessage());
   }

or try it in the ToolsUI program.

sorry the documentation not yet very complete.

if you have problems, send me the error message and/or the file.
