CDF vs. netCDF [message #8469]

We are converting a moderately large set of programs to
IDL for distribution. I am reviewing options for the
data format to use and downloaded the CDF and netCDF
user's guides. What is not clear from what I have seen
are the advantages and disadvantages to the two formats.

Any comments on this would be useful. Our software handles
large MRI images and spectra (thus IDL) and is going to
be designed to run on many platforms (thus IDL again). One
thing I would like to know is whether netCDF adds significantly
to file size and how both compare to using IDL's unformatted
routines like ASSOC.
