Hi John,<br><br>Perhaps you might consider PIO which implements both netcdf4 and pnetcdf along with a serial option and allows the <br>user a runtime selection. <br><br>Jim<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 8, 2011 at 1:51 AM, John Urbanic <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:urbanic@psc.edu">urbanic@psc.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

From the wiki, it looks like this must have existed at one point. In particular, I refer to the "pnetcdf_vs_netcdf4" bullet on the top page. It is greyed out at the moment, but implies that something interesting once lived there. In lieu of this, perhaps one of you knows of another such discussion or summary?<u></u><u></u></p>

A tutorial with some bootstrap examples would be helpful. The best I can find are the sample codes in the /test directory. An older - circa 2008 - mailing list archives discussion indicates that there was an imminent plan to gather up user submitted examples. I can't seem to locate those.<u></u><u></u></p>
