Hello Paula,

I'm sorry for the delayed response!  

Unfortunately we do not yet have *official* support for Fortran on Windows, 
although we have started down that route by integrating cmake into the Fortran 
build system.  To answer your question, it is still in the pipeline, and I 
would like to have it done sooner than later.  

I'm sorry I can't provide a more positive response other than it is still 
planned; I have heard anecdotally that some developers have been able to get 
netCDF-Fortran to build with cmake and Visual Studio + fortran compiler (PGI or 
Intel, I'm not certain), so it may be possible.  I will certainly post to the 
netcdf mailing list as soon as the feature is ready and available!
