There are two errors in calculating the skewness and kurtosis which I
know about (overactive copy-pasting). They should be

skewness=(1./n) * total((*xptr-mean)^3)/(sqrt(variance))^3
kurtosis=(1./n) * total((*xptr-mean)^4)/(sqrt(variance))^4 - 3.

but (Marc), I have improved versions, I thought I had sent them :(

Also, the NetCDF functions are almost done (varput/vardef/varrename are
left).

Chris.
