% MATLAB/netcdf interface
%
% The following m-files were written and developed by Jim Mansbridge (C)
% CSIRO 1992-5.  They use the files in the netcdf toolbox, mexcdf and other
% mex-files created and maintained by Chuck Denham U.S. Geological
% Survey, Woods Hole, MA 02543 (cdenham@usgs.gov) 
%
% ==========================================================================
% The following commands are available (use help for further
% information) and will be supported in the future.
% 
% ==========================================================================
% attcdf        - imports attributes of a netCDF file
% getnc         - imports variables from a netCDF file
% inqcdf        - interactive inquiry of netCDF file
% netcdf toolbox- direct calls to netcdf functions - use 'help netcdf'
%                   for a detailed description 
% timecdf       - finds the time vector and the corresponding base date for a
%                   netcdf file that meets COARDS standards
% whatnc        - lists netCDF files in current directory
% ==========================================================================
%
% Four of the above routines (getnc, netcdf toolbox, timecdf and whatnc)
% will only work under matlab 5.  They supercede the following (less
% powerful) routines which work under matlab 3.5, 4 and 5.  The older
% routines are only included for backwards compatibility:
% ==========================================================================
% getcdf        - imports variables from a netCDF file
% get_time      - finds the time vector and the corresponding base date for a
%                    netcdf file that meets COARDS standards.
% mexcdf        - direct calls to netcdf functions - (matlab 4 experts only)
% whatcdf       - lists netCDF files in current directory for Unix machines
% ==========================================================================
