Re: loading netcdf files in FER_DATA path



Hi Hein,

This is a known bug and on our list of things to address.  Ferret will search for .cdf and
.des extensions, but hasn't been set up to automatically search for .nc extensions yet.
Adding the extension to the command, i.e. >use testcase.nc, will work though.
