Hi,

Although we have not succeeded in porting and testing the netCDF Fortran-90 
interface to Windows (just the Fortran-77 interface), there are reports that 
these steps work:

   1. Download netcdf source from 
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf.tar.gz and unpack somewhere 
convenient
   2. Create new Fortran Static Library project in Compaq Visual Fortran (use a 
name like netcdf_f90)
   3. Import only netcdf.f90 and typeSizes.f90 into the new project
   4. Set the active configuration to 'Release' (Build -> Active Configuration 
-> Win 32 Release)
   5. Build the project
   6. From the 'Release' directory (in the project directory), retrieve the 
netcdf.mod and netcdf_f90.lib files. Note that they have different names.
   7. Move the .mod and .lib files from the build, and also those from the 
precompiled NetCDF archive into locations in your INCLUDE and LIB search paths. 
Possible locations for this are C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\VC98\INCLUDE and C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\LIB, 
respectively

The steps above appear here:
