I'm afraid that I don't have the file that you sent me last time, nor do
I recall what it looked like (I answer a lot of email).

The UDUNITS library is, typically, used by a netCDF-using program to
read the data, reduce the data, and write the results.

I think I don't have any spare time.

Do you have access to a UNIX system on which you can build the UDUNITS
package.
