Howdy again!

At long last I am able (I believe) to produce a netCDF DLL which contains the 
fortran wrappers.

I am not sure whether this works from Intel fortran yet. If you could try, and 
let me know, that would be very helpful.

The new DLLs are at:

ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.6.2-beta5_pgi_w32bin.zip

The DLL is called "libnetcdf-0.dll", copy that to 
\windows\system32\libnetcdf.dll (note that the "-0" has to be taken out of the 
name, I believe).

This is pretty experimental at this point (I am testing it now), but if you 
could give it a try and let me know if it works, that would be very helpful!

Thanks,

Ed
