Dave,

You're right that the universal binaries will work on G4, G5, or Intel Mac
platforms as well as
new platforms compatible with these.  As a result, the binaries are larger than
binaries
specifically built for a particular platform.

If you don't have a bin folder, you could make one with

  mkdir ~/bin      [makes bin subdirectory of your home directory (/Users/Dave
  or whatever)]

Then you can put commands you want to use in there, such as ncdump:

  cp ncdump ~/bin

If you have an environment variable named PATH, you can set it to include your
bin directry
for another place to search for commands:

  echo $PATH
  export PATH=~/bin:$PATH

or

  setenv PATH ~/bin:$PATH

depending on whether your command interpreter is one of {sh, bash, ksh, zsh} or
one of {csh, tcsh}.  Sorry it's so complicated, that's why command-line
interfaces seem clunky compared to GUI's.
