No wonder my hate mail runs about 10:1 verses the complements.(1) :-(

My variable and fill value where numerical values.
What happened was that I was reading a variable and its
fill value out of a file, computing some averages (climatologies),
then writing the climatologies back into another netCDF file.
I just tried to assign the climatologies the same fill value
I had read out of the file. But, of course, the original
data were long integers, and the climatologies were floats.
I never looked at (or even knew) the fill value.

Yes, of course. I may have to investigate that FL language. ;-)
Cheers,

pissed about the Dahli Lama reference on my book page.
