Hi Guy,

> Operating System: Windows 7
> Hardware: Intel Core i5
> Description of problem:
> 
> I have recently intalled on Windows-7 the "Intel Visual Fortran Composer
> XE2013" (based on MS Visual Studio 10).  I have been trying to find a
> pre-compiled NetCDF library for this configuration.

Sorry, we've created Windows binaries for the C library and executables
as well as a CMake solution for MS Visual Studio 10, but we haven't 
built the Fortran library on top of the C library yet.  However, another
user informed us that he had built the Fortran library from the latest
netcdf-fortran-4.2 release after installing the C library.

You can get the files for CMake by checking out this svn branch:

  svn co http://svn.unidata.ucar.edu/repos/netcdf/trunk

If you follow the instructions here, you can build from those sources:

  
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/workshops/2012/windows/netCDF-C%20for%20Windows.pdf

We'll be including the CMake build files in the next netCDF release, but for
now it's necessary to build from the svn developer snapshot, which currently
is passing our tests.
