Re: [ferret_users]why ferret is saving the variables with uppercaseletter?

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Murat,
This will be improved with the next release of Ferret. Currently, Ferret 
translates all commands and variable names to uppercase, which allows 
the user to specify commands in either upper or lower case. 
In the next release, all of the information about variables including 
their names exactly as they appear in the file, and all attributes, will 
be saved when the file is read.  On output, the variable names in the 
original upper or lower case will be written, and the user can specify 
whether  to write out attributes which were in the file but are not the 
standard attributes that Ferret always writes.

Until that release is ready, our best suggestion is to use NC operatoras 
to fix the file after it has been written out.  These are available at  
http://nco.sourceforge.net/
