Hi Dan.

Glad to here the Fortran libraries work. No, I don't anticipate any users will
miss szip. We intentionally don't support writing files
with szip compression through netCDF APIs due to patent restrictions on the
szip software. Having szip support in netCDF means
you can read data that has been compressed with szip by programs that use the
HDF5 APIs. I haven't heard of anyone using that
route to create szip-compressed HDF5 data that's accessible through netCDF-4
APIs. Creating files that way would not be easy,
as you would have to avoid HDF5 features not supported in the netCDF-4 data
model (such as references, type attributes, non-
hierarchical groups, or user-defined primitive types) and you would have to
create artifacts in netCDF-4 files that emulate features
HDF5 doesn't have, such as shared dimensions.
