[netCDF #VZH-911645]: my 4-D netcdf data is not read by unidata fortran codes

Hi Pankaj,

Sorry, but we don't have the resources for detailed debugging of
user applications.  If you built the netCDF C and Fortan libraries 
and "make check" ran successfully, then the library and ncdump are
working as intended.  

If you suspect there is a bug in the library, we would need a small
program that demonstrated the bug by writing data to a netCDF file,
reading the data, and printing an indication of the bug.
