Thanks for getting back to me so quickly Rosalyn. I spotted the
problem because I am working on creating a data standard for another
project, and I am basing it heavily on the CF 1.4 standard. That
project needs a compliance checker, but the one you have needs python
and the linux-only (it seems) cdat library to run, so I am porting the
cfchecks.py script to java. The new java code will be used in both a
checker integrated into other data handling programs and as a java
applet that runs on a website. The applet solves the problem that the
python script currently has of having to upload an entire NetCDF file
to check it, which is a problem for some large data files our users
have (several GB). I would be happy to contribute the java code back
to you when the project is finished if you think it would be useful.
Thanks,
Joshua.
