Hi Adit:

I'm sorry about the minimal documentation, we will start writing it as 
soon as we can get to beta, which may be May.

Just open HDF or GRIB  like a regular netcdf file, I prefer 
NetcdfDataset.openFile() or NetcdfDataset.openDataset()

There can be surprising structure in these non-netcdf files. i find it 
useful to view files in the netcdf ToolsUI, especially the "viewer" tab.

you can't write to HDF5 or GRID, though.
