Thanks much Adam!

I had to do a slew of minor editing though as Mary's function identified all the links on NCL's functions/procedures pages as functions, and thus, I'd rather send this (beta-) version of ncl.lang to the list and will update the website once people have thoroughly tested it out. If anyone spots anything amiss send me an email.

Of course ncl.lang contains a rather old list of function names etc. from 2011. It could quite easily be updated if there are alphabetical lists of functions and the like.

It did not work for me, and CISL indicated that there is a problem with the ncl.lang file. Has anybody been more successful with a newer set of files or remembers the tricks they used to get it going?
