Sorry, we don't know anything about that program, which was evidently developed 
by
a programmer in NCAR's Research Aviation Facility in 2009.  The only 
documentation
I've found is here:

  http://www.eol.ucar.edu/raf/Software/nc2asc.html

and another web page that says the software is "deprecated":

  http://www.eol.ucar.edu/raf/Software/n2asc_dnld.html

This table of NCAR EOL software also indicates that program is deprecated:

  http://www.eol.ucar.edu/data/software/downloadcenter

and lists some other available programs that might be useful for aircraft
data.

For more general use, I recommend the "ncdump" utility or other software
described in this FAQ:
