Hi Russ,
I'm sorry, I have to apologize. I have now discovered that what I thought was installed as the NetCDF4 version of ncdump must actually be an HDF4 version. The real NetCDF4 version works just fine on this file. I was sure I had installed it to my /usr/local/bin directory but apparently not, or perhaps it was overwritten. 
So excuse me while I wipe the egg off my face. I hope you didn't  
spend too much time on this.
Meanwhile thanks for pointing out the '-k' option which I had not  
been aware of.

Hi Dave,


I'm having trouble duplicating the error you are seeing.  In  
particular, I can't seem
to make ncdump from netCDF4 produce the message "ncopen failed" on  
any file, real or imaginary,
and it works OK on 64-bit-offset files.  Just to be sure, can you  
please send me output from the

following, using the netCDF4 ncdump

  ls -l e4oper.fc.ml.19970116-19970120.nc
  ncdump -k e4oper.fc.ml.19970116-19970120.nc
  ncdump -V


The last command will say "-V" is an illegal option, but will then  
print out the version number,
which is what I want to see.  Ans just to be sure I understand how  
the file was created, did you
use the netCDF-4.0-beta1 library to create the 7.7Gbyte file, or  
did you use netCDF-3.6.2 and the

64BIT_OFFSET creation mode?

Thanks!
