The situation is this. Some time ago I moved oc to the unidata
git hub repository (https://github.com/Unidata/oc).
It has since become clear that no one is using that library, so
effectively it has been folded into the netcdf-c library
(https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c) and the oc repo is pretty much
stable.
With respect to DAP4, I am (slowly) adding DAP4 support to the
netcdf-c library, but not using oc.
My recommendation is that you use the netcdf-c library with netcdf-4
support turned off. That will give a minimal c library that supports
dap2 and netcdf-3 (which is necessary for dap2 support). The netcdf-c
library has much better documentation than oc, and the API is quite
usable.
