Hello Feng,

Those libraries, besides being quite old, were contributed to us by a third 
party.  I'm afraid I can't tell you anything about whether or not they work 
with Compaq Visual Fortran, or which versions of MSVC they might be compatible 
with.  

Your best bet may be to work with the current version of the netcdf-fortran 
library.  It uses the CMake build system; while we haven't tested under Windows 
yet, this may be your best bet to build a netcdf-fortran library for use with 
Visual Studio.  Note that you'll need to first install the netcdf-c libraries, 
upon which netcdf-fortran depends. More information on that may be found here:

I hope this helps,

-Ward
