RE: convert nc to cdf

[Enils Bashi <EBashi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

You're right there is no difference between the two, but there seems to be
difference when you try to configure them to work with LAS. All nc files
that I have tried feeding to LAS cannot be configured due to some
restrictions in the perl code that are cdf specific. 
You are also right that the question was asked in LAS list, but, the answer
I got was not much more that unrelated example provided with the ferret user
guide. 
I was expecting a more straight forward "black box" method that would
convert the file from nc to cdf, and does not require having knowledge of
the variables in those files.

Hi Enils,
There's no difference between the two.  Both .nc and .cdf are
NetCDF file extensions.

(I understand you asked a more detailed question of the LAS
Users List, and that email was answered on that list.)
