I am pleased to announce the release of version 1.0 of NCO, which
stands for `netCDF operators'.

NCO consists of nine command line operators for netCDF files:

ncks ncrename ncra ncea ncrcat ncdiff ncwa ncecat ncflint

These operators work on generic netCDF files and perform rote tasks like 
renaming, concatentation, hyperslabbing, averaging, interpolation, and
differencing. The documentation is nearly complete.

The source code is freely available via anonymous ftp:

ftp.cgd.ucar.edu:pub/zender/nc/nco-1.0.tar.gz

The documentation is now on-line:

Good luck,
Charlie
