You could start with sections 1.5, 1.6 and chapter 2 of the NCO User's Guide:

  http://nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#Introduction

There's also a forum where you can look at the archived questions and answers
as well as ask new questions.  That's where we would end up forwarding any NCO
questions, because we aren't the NCO developers and don't use it enough to be
able to provide support.  Here's the forum:
