+library.  netCDF version 4 has many features not found in earlier
+versions of the library and is implemented on top of HDF5.  This module
+can read and write files in both the new netCDF 4 and the old netCDF 3
+format, and can create files that are readable by HDF5 clients.  The
+API is modelled after @code{Scientific.IO.NetCDF}, and should be familiar
+to users of that module.")
