Howdy Greg! I've applied your fixes to ncvalues.cpp and nc.c. They will be part of the next beta release. Thanks! As for your ncdump changes, they are more fundamental. Why did you say that you can see arguments for not applying this patch? What arguments? It actually looks like a good idea to me. But ncdump is Russ's baby, so I will discuss it with him and see what he thinks... What in the world are you doing with so many dimensions? Are the dimension id's having problems with being negative above 32K? Thanks again!
