Jim-
Unfortunately, ncgen has always treated
the no flags case as being just a syntax
check. I agree with your intent, but
we are captives of history and back compatability.

Hi,
I built netcdf-4.2-rc1 and I was not able to create a file using ncgen
unless I included the '-k kind' option. With this option omitted,
nothing happens.
I hope this is not intentional because it would be a step in the wrong
direction. My goal is to *never* use the -k option, but rather to use
the _Format attribute within the CDL to define the output file type at
run-time. Based on earlier discussions I've had with Unidata, and some
documentation I've seen, this was the intent of the _Format attribute.
Using -k would override what is in the CDL. Now I'm not sure what to think.
Thanks ...
