[ncl-talk] NCL Version 6.2.1 now available

[Dave Allured - NOAA Affiliate]

NCL team,

Thank you very much for adding the "fileexists" function,  This was on my
wish list for some time.  This should be helpful for many applications that
process groups of files with naming issues or potential missing files, or
files of "non-supported" types such as text and custom binary.
