Some people at ISAS in Europe using neteCDF on DOS systems reported to me
that they have problems with the netCDF test routines. After the code
build is done and the tests put a test dataset thru ncdump and ncgen,
comments are lost. Another problem is that formatting of the datasets is
different after doing a round trip thru the utilities. Loss of comments
is bad because important scientific information is being lost. Formatting
is an annoyance, and may have some effect on usability.
Have these problems already been fixed? There is a chance that they are
using an older version of netCDF.
Thanks.
