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. -Ward > Regards, > > Liz > Liz Orelup > Meteorologist/Programmer > http://www.oceanweather.com <http://www.oceanweather.com/> > Ph: 203-661-3091 > Email: address@hidden > > Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: UXF-258603 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Open
