Wonderful! I was able to make good use of it, processing a NetCDF file
today. I did find one bug - an error message about a shared Tcl_Obj.
If I can reproduce it, I will send a report.

However, it is just marvelous to be able to read such files with a mere

single line of code :)

Regards,

Arjen

Oh, one drawback: I can not load NAP into tclkit.

I tried it with tclkit 8.4.13, but it fails with some system error when
I do "package require nap"

Pity. Maybe tclkit 8.5a4 will do the job?

It fails with 8.5a4 too. But I use the binary version for Windows as
available on the SF download page. Perhaps that is not compiled
with the -DUSE_TCL_STUBS flag?
