The latest version of IDL (3.6) for OSF1, which we received about a week ago, contains the netCDF libraries. The IDL netCDF library contains at least one serious bug. We are having problems reading LONG arrays (it seems to be some 32/64-bit confusion). We have have reported the problem to RSI, and they have reproduced it, but they have not provided a patch or work-around yet. I may be able to get around it myself, but I would rather have a solution from them. We haven't upgraded to 3.6 on our AIX machines yet, so I don't know if the bug is restricted to the Alphas, or occurs on other platforms. If you are under maintenance, you should be getting the 3.6 CD soon. You can always check with RSI. Ken Bowman -- Dr. Kenneth P.
