Hi David,

The md5 for http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/ftp/netcdf-4.0.tar.gz
is now in

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/netcdf-4_0/netcdf-4.0.tar.gz.md5

If this is a DoC policy, we will probably encounter it again with our other
software and later versions, so consider the above location just a temporary
place for this information.  We will have to work out a general scheme for
providing secure signatures for all our software.

By the way, is MD5 required, or would SHA-1 or some other secure signature
satisfy the DoC policy just as well?
