Hello,

We do not maintain an archive of installers for previous netCDF libraries; 
however, I am currently compiling them and will put them in the 'old/' 
directory when finished, assuming there is no problem.  You should be able to 
install them then.

I'm curious, what were the issues with 4.4.0 that you encountered?  NetCDF 
4.4.0 contains fixes for known issues in 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 that related to large 
file support (amongst other things).  It would be best to work with the latest 
versions of the libraries, if at all possible; I'd be happy to help resolve any 
issues with the most recent version (4.4.0).  Additionally, I'm preparing the 
`4.4.1` release, and if there are outstanding problems I'd love to get them 
fixed.

Please allow 30 minutes from the time of this message for the compilation to 
finish, and then check the `old/` url you supplied; you should find the .exe 
installer files there.  I will contact you if a problem should arise which 
prevents this.

Thank you, have a great day,

-Ward
