[ncl-talk] Problem reading hdf5 file

[Dennis Shea]

Likely, ncl-6.4.0 will read the file.
I went to site and it want us to register. Just don't wan to do that.


Are you on a CISL (eg: yellowstone) box? Where?


If not, make the data available via WWW or ftp to:

ftp ftp.cgd.ucar.edu
anonymous
your_email
cd incoming
put your_file
quit

THX
