[netCDF #AWT-354487]: NetCDF C++ Library: Write netcdf file

Hello Carole, 

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you also submitted this question to the 
netcdf mailing list and have received an answer, correct?  Is it ok to close 
out this ticket? Or is this a different question (it appears to be the same but 
I may be mistaken).

Thanks,

-Ward
