The only two command line applications are ncgen and ncdump. NetCDF is a programming library, so the main idea is that you get the DLL and call the functions in it. Do you have a netCDF data file? If so, try ncdump on it, and see if it will list the contents of the file. Good luck! Ed -- Ed Hartnett -- address@hidden
