Howdy John!

I am the netCDF windows guy but was recently overwhelmed with support email.
Russ very kindly stepped in to help out.

A week spent camping in the wilderness restored my usual decisive nature, and I
am no longer overwhelmed. Now I stride like a giant across the netCDF support
landscape! ;-)

Unfortunately windows is our least-supported platform at the moment, but we are
trying to improve.

First, read the following FAQ:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/faq.html#windows

Using the DLL is described in this section of the netCDF Installation and
Porting Guide:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-install/Windows.html#Windows

If these don't solve your problems, please do let me know!

Thanks,

Ed
