Weird NetCDf problem under XP

Hello Everyone!
I am having a strange problem under WindowsXP involving a netcdf application I have written and I was hoping someone might have an answer for me.

I can't find any NetCDF.DLL file on the computer anywhere yet the program works. I set XP to show all hidden and system files. Nothing. I searched from DOS using dir /s. Nothing. I used a program off the internet that lists all of the DLLs on the computer and searched that list but found nothing. How can this be? The program was written in VB6 with SP6. I used declare statements to include the functionality of a netcdf (v3.5) dll compiled in VC6. It works great! So well in fact that it doesn't even need the NetCDF.DLL anymore!

I just did a complete minimal install of Windows XP on a freshly formatted hard drive and repeated all of the above and the program still works without any NetCDF.DLL. There is no way this can be however because all this program does is read netcdf files and display their contents but I don't see how
it could do that without the netcdf dll.  Weird!

Any ideas?

Thanks!
