Hi John,

In some ways, it looks like v4.3 is handling the metadata much better than v4.2.  In other ways, v4.3 seems to be missing some important information - particularly with the dimension variables.  (No _CoordinateAxisType, for example)

I could put those back in, although they are redundant with CF spec. do you  use them? what other metadata in 4.2 not in 4.3 do you see as important?

I'm attaching the respective header dumps from using ucar.nc2.dataset.NetcdfDataset with both v4.2 and v4.3.

I also wanted to bring up that the v4.3 GUI doesn't want to open for me.  (I use the toolsUI GUI *a lot* to examine files.)  

Perhaps I should be starting it with a different command than I used in v4.2, but I didn't see anything that suggested there was a different way to launch it.  Here is my command line dump: (also tried with a smaller vm heap declaration)

ok, looks like some simple problem i will fix.
