Dr. Duran,

Sorry that it has taken so long to get back to you. The windows port is a bit 
of a problem child. We are about to release the 4.1.1 version of netCDF, and 
then I will turn to the windows port again. 

The names of the fortran functions are controlled in the build by the setting 
of a pre-processor macro. Most fortran compilers work with either f2cFortran or 
pgiFortran. Two pre-built versions of the library are available for these two 
types of fortran compiler, but other compilers can be supported by building the 
project under the win32/NET directory of the 4.0.1 release, and changing the 
pre-processor flags in the properties window for the netcdf project.

Thanks,

Ed
