Howdy Ajit!

A helpful user has just contributed a new C++ API. Russ, our C++ expert, is 
examining it now and likes what he sees so far. I suspect we will be adding 
this new C++ API to the netCDF snapshot distribution to see how users like it.

Whatever we do, we will announce on the netCDF mailing list.

Thanks,

Ed
