Hello,
We did have the problem years ago and the answer is yes PV-Wave don't
use netcdf files.
In fact it only uses HDF4 files with HDF4 library.
This library has the netCDF interface and is able to read/write existing
netCDF
files but it *only creates HDF4 files* simulating netCDF metadata in HDF4.
The only way we did find to use pure netCDF files was to write our library
loaded by LINKNLOAD with PV-Wave procedures doing the interface.
In IDL you have the NetCDF V3 interface connected to the true netCDF library
so you can manipulate netCDF files for both reading and writing (and the
language is quite close to PV-Wave one).
