Hi Phil,

Sorry to take so long to respond to your question:
> As it happens the bug is in the cxx library. I looked at version 4.2.1
> of this and it seems like the ncVar::put method has been replaced with
> ncVar::putVar, which takes different parameter types. Is this correct?
> It looks like the bug doen't exist in ncVar::putVar, but I would need to
> do a fair chunk of code rewriting to use the new interface.
> Unfortunately I'm not likely to get chance to try to build this any time
> soon as there is no support for a build system I can use for VS. Last
> time I tried I got nowhere fast.

There are actually 2 incompatible versions of the netCDF C++ library, an
old "legacy" version that didn't use namespaces, exceptions, or templates,
and a new netCDF-4 version that makes use of modern C++ features.  The
latter version was contributed by a user (Lynton Appel), and its changed
API is intentional.  The only release on GitHub is netcdf-cxx4 4.2.1.  The
legacy version, which is no longer maintained but still builds OK as far
as I know id available from our Downloads page as
