On unix systems if you do an inquire of an attribute which isn't defined
you got in the past versions the type as UNKNOWN returned. Then you know it
isn't there. Now you get a valid type mostly LONG back.
It was in the beta too, I did a bugreport in September last year and they
fixed it only for windows.
The other problem we will get in the future if unidata did not set up a mask
character for special signs for the definition of parameter names.
Because now in idl is 2.4 included. This allows you to define ()@:. and
some other signs in the parameter names. There was a change about this in
3.0 because of preventing ncgen to get trouble by some special signs.
Russ Rew gaves as always a patch to get the old convention back. Actual
version is now 3.5
The netCDF library is to idl static linked so I am worry about that if they
use an updated version not late enough we got some more trouble.
