[netcdfgroup] Using netcdf library to access open dap served data

Hi All:

I am still a little confused on how to use opendap from within the netcdf 
library,  The online documentation says I put the URL, including the 
constraint, into the "open file" command ( which will differ by language).  So 
since I am including the constraint into the URL of the open command, is that, 
and the data is transferred, or is is viewed as a virtual datasets and I need 
to do the usual reads to extract the data?  If the latter, is the size (and 
therefore the relative indexing) based on the virtual dataset or the actual one?

I looked in the library examples for a program that did this and didn't find 
it, if there is a test program in there somewhere you can point me to it would 
be much appreciated.

-Roy
