[ncl-talk] problem with HDF file message contd

[David Brown]

Hi Geeta,
I think I mentioned to you that you would need to download the latest
version of NCL (6.4.0) to be able to work with HDF5 files properly --
particularly files that have compound data types like this one does.
This file was indeed converted to HDF5 using the h4toh5 utility from
the HDF Group.
