That all seems to work fine; however, my data values now are all zero. This is perplexing because I could see non-zero data when opening the file with the xdfopen command, but not when I opened the netcdf file with the open command and full descriptor file (I'm trying to plot forecast precipitation, by the way). If needed I can provide a copy of my descriptor file. Thanks for any advice you can offer.</div>
