This is easy to do since the netcdf-3 API is a subset of netcdf-4.
So, the only change you should need to make is to add the NF_NETCDF4
flag to the second argument to the nf_open call (or nf90_open or whatever
one you are using).
If you want to convert an existing netcdf-3 file to netcdfd-4, then you
can use the nccopy command (part of the netcdf-C code base, which you
will have already installed).
