118            MITgcm is now able to write and (to a lesser extent) read NetCDF files.
119            The framework (the "MNC" package) has been tested by numerous developers
120            on literally dozens of machines and, for the past month, has been a
121            working part of our standard verification suite.  We encourage MITgcm
122            users (especially new users) to try out the MNC package since the model
123            output is now much easier to read and understand.  For further NetCDF
