Wes,

I neglected to answer your follow-up email:

The sample program you sent didn't actually write any data, so I can't 
reproduce the problem here.  However, a common mistake is to not call 
nc_close(ncFID) before exiting, which flushes buffers and makes sure the number 
of records count is written to disk.  If you have an example that shows a bug 
in writing data, we would be very interested in seeing it.  Thanks!
