[netCDF #UXF-258603]: NetCDF 4.2 for Windows

Good afternoon,

You are correct that the version you downloaded is only the C libraries;
starting with netCDF 4.2, netCDF fortran (and C++) support is maintained in  
separate libraries.  The source code for the fortran library is available at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/netcdf-fortran/index.jsp

Currently, we don't have a version of the fortran libraries with
Windows support, but our goal is to introduce this support as quickly as
possible.  Fortunately, the work which went into bringing the netCDF 4.2 C
libraries to Windows will go a long way towards enabling Windows 
support for the fortran libraries.

I hope this information helps; I'm sorry there isn't a fortran library yet for 
download,  but there will be an announcement made as soon as we have a 
beta version available.

> Thanks and Happy New Year!

Thank you, you too.
