Hi Hailin,

> I read the doc page of NF90_GET_VAR, which link is as below, and found
> that the values of count in the sample code are confusing.
> 
> http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-f90/NF90_005fGET_005fVAR.html
> 
> The following is the sample code in the page.
> 
> use netcdf
> implicit none
> integer            :: ncId, rhVarId, status
> integer, parameter :: numLons = 10, numLats = 5, numTimes = 3
> real, dimension(numLons, numLats, numTimes) &
> :: rhValues
> ...
> status = nf90_open("foo.nc", nf90_NoWrite, ncid)
> if(status /= nf90_NoErr) call handle_err(status)
> ...
> status = nf90_inq_varid(ncid, "rh", rhVarId)
> if(status /= nf90_NoErr) call handle_err(status)
> !Read the values at the last time by passing an array section
> status = nf90_get_var(ncid, rhVarId, rhValues(:, :, 3), &
> start = (/ 1, 1, numTimes /),     &
> count = (/ numLats, numLons, 1 /))
> if(status /= nf90_NoErr) call handle_err(status)
> 
> 
> In the code hilighted above, the values of count should be (/numLons,
> numLats, 1/) to conform to declaration of the array.

Thanks for reporting the problem and the fix. I've updated the 
documentation in the latest snapshot, so it should be corrected
in the next beta release.
