Revision history for Perl extension PDL::NetCDFobj 0.01 12/31/97 - original version 0.03 11/30/98 - changed interface: matrix slices indexed with [1,2,3], not long([1,2,3]), i.e. perl array refs instead of PDLs of type long. This helps when on 64 bit platforms--PDL long is not necessarily the same size as the native long used by netCDF as indices (size_t). Ported to DEC alpha OSF 4.0 Changed name to PDL::NetCDF 0.70 12/16/99 - Added support in 'get' and 'put' for PDL::Char type PDLs to read/write NetCDF character N-dimensional data as strings. - NOW REQUIRES PDL::Char (from a recent PDL version) to work!! 0.78 1/20/2001 - Added read support for zero dimensional variables (variables with no dimension, just a scalar) - Added the ability to reuse an old netCDF object for the 'new' call for similar files. This speeds up the reading of many similar netCDF files considerably. 0.81 5/15/2002 - Added Environment variables NETCDF_LIBDIR and NETCDF_INCDIR which you can use to tell where to find netcdf. 0.82 8/28/2002 - Added PREREQ_PM for PDL version 2.2 or later to satisfy CPANPLUS email.
