[netCDF #RLD-473689]: Install directions for Mac OS 10.4.10

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.
