If I remember correctly, the NetCDF docs are in texinfo format. These can,
of course, be processed to Info files. Here is a perl script called infogate
that (very inefficiently) serves up an Info directory to the Web. It can
either be suitably modified to run in batch to generate html for static
docs, or someone with more perl experience than I have can make it use the
info tags stuff properly so it's more efficient. It works fine for small
docs.
I got infogate from ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu:/pub/www.
