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