I am not being clear, sorry. The issue is not adding or changing the API as such. If you look at all the currently supported file type as defined by the dispatch tables, you will see that each dispatch table implement exactly the netcdf-3 API in full or it implements the netcdf-4 API in full. Your proposed change will create a dispatch table that implements the netcdf-3 API plus a part of the netcdf-4 API (it won't implement groups, for example). For unidata, this is IMO a big change. I am not necessarily opposed to it, but it needs some consideration. =Dennis Heimbigner Unidata Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: EXY-936604 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
