Hi again,

There are some other conversion utilities for ASCII to netCDF data that we did 
not develop but that may be useful to you, if you don't want to use ncgen and 
ncdump utlities.  We can't support these or answer questiona about them, but 
some of them look useful.

An ASCII to netCDF converter has been developed by UNAVCO and is documented 
here:

  http://geon.unavco.org/unavco/Converter/

A small C program for converting ASCII tables to netCDF is available here:

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/tbl2cdf.c

You can use NCAR's NCL software that can read ASCII data and write netCDF data:

  Read ASCII data: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/r-ascii.shtml

  Write netCDF data: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/o-netcdf.shtml

I think other example programs are available by Googling for "ASCII to netCDF".
