[ncl-talk] Cannot create triangular mesh

[Adam Phillips]

Hi MM,
In short: No. I wouldn't even know where to recommend you start, and there
is no official support for backporting NCL advancements to previous NCL
versions. The far easiest solution is to ask the systems administrators to
upgrade NCL to the current version.
Best,
Adam
