I'm running into problems, and I believe the root of it all are the dimensions -- getting them and adding one more.

I can't tell you exactly what is wrong with your code, but I do remember
how frustrating it was to learn how to create a netCDF file, or copy
data from one netCDF file to another. So frustrating that I eventually
wrote my own code to do it, with much better error handling!

You can read about my programs here:

http://www.idlcoyote.com/fileio_tips/ncdf_browser.html

Pay particular attention to the "Further Updates" section at the bottom
of that page. The code I am talking about is the code I wrote for the
ncdf_file object. There is an example program there, NCDF_File_Examples,
that shows you how to create a new file from scratch, copy data from one
file to another, and read data out of a netCDF file. It is possible you
may find that helpful.

Cheers,

David
