Re: [netcdf-java] Replacing variable-length dimensions with ArraySequence

UNLIMITED dimensions are distinctly separate from
variable length dimensions; handling of UNLIMITED would
not be affected at all.

Is variable length the same thing as unlimited dimensions? I don't know
what an array sequence is. Please elaborate. The current unlimited
dimensions is very important to me.

    In a future release of the netcdf java code I plan to get rid
    of the variable-length dimension (e..g '*') in CDM
    and replace it with ArraySequence. I would like to get
    an idea of how this
    will affect in our user community.

    My expectation is that two groups would be affected:
    1. Users who write  their own IOSPs
    2. Users who program directly against the netcdf-java API.

    If you make use of variable-length dimensions in your work,
    could you either post a note to this mailing list or send
    a comment directly to me: dmh@xxxxxxxx
