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