04 Jun 2007	Kelly Kearney	This is a nice complement to some of the more powerful netcdf libraries available. Becuase it reads in an entire file at once, it can only deal with small .nc files, but is much less hassle than the mexnc library I usually use. However, it would be nice if it did some checks ahead of time to see if the file it's reading is too big to be read into Matlab all at once (based on the header data), and errored out immediately, rather trying to do the impossible.

22 Jun 2007	Patrick Gagnon	It's by far the simplest way that I found to read netcdf data in Matlab R14.
22 Oct 2007	Liam Harrington-Missin	Very Easy to use and quick, at least for smaller NetCDF files
23 Nov 2007	Ibrahim Modibbo	Wow! I cant believe it...even people's comments until i saved this file into my working dir and used it in place of load on matlab prompt...my file is there! Thats a great job! Will it be possible for you to extend this for ARGO data, and possibly how to make some few plots? This would have added extreme help to many people! Pls reply me.... I am PhD student at National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK. Hope to hear from you! Cheers!

22 Jan 2009	naratip santitissadeekorn	??? Error using ==> feval Undefined function or method 'mexcdf60' for input arguments of type 'char'. What should I do to resolve the above error? I am totally new to this type of data and mex-files. Please, help.
26 Feb 2009	Richard Sonnenfeld	I haven't used it heavily yet so there may still be issues -- but it appears that this script works just fine for Matlab in Linux. (Ubuntu/Debian). It really ought to -- NETCDF is supposed to be platform agnostic.
20 May 2009	Michael Kleder	Excellent submission. Note that unsigned integer variables (uint8) seem to be loaded as signed integers (int8). I use the typecast function to correct that. I haven't checked for any other bugs. Thanks for this really useful function!
