* programmer - steve hankin
* NOAA/PMEL, Seattle, WA - Tropical Modeling and Analysis Program

* V230:  6/92
*       8/18/92 - added "_FillValue" attribute to pre-fill missing gaps      
*       11/4/92 - expanded user variable name length
* V320: 5/94 - array "memory" as a calling argument
*       8/94 - added qualifiers /ILIMITS=, /JLIMITS, etc.
*	11/94 - output "title" and "long_name_mod" in addition to global
*		and variable "history" attributes ("history" ignored on input)
*	 1/95 - bug introduced 8/94: error branch to 5300 causes crash 
*     1/25/95 - added argument "enhead" for enhanced heading control
* V411: 9/95 - corrected wrong type declaration of ISUBSCRIPT (discovered
*		only on IBM port)
* V450: 11/96 - added argument clobber to allow deletion of file
*		added argument "mode" and code to support NetCDF cache suitable
*		for DODS. Since DODS communications are stateless a cached
*		version of a remote file which contains all of the metadata
*		and coordinates is sufficient to prepare Ferret to read
*		remote DODS data. Only ncopn need be called then on the
*		remote file.
* Linux Port - 6/97 - reorder if def logic when setting cd_data_type to 
*                     BYTE or INTEGER*1
*		    - create equivalences so that all CD_WRITEVAL calls have
*			the same arg daat types
* kob*   9/97 - replaced call to ISUBSCRIPT w/ call to ISUBSCR_CX in order
*               to have access to context information - needed for negative
*               time step processing
* V500 *kob* 3/99- up SANITARY_VAR_CODE and local variable varcode to 64 chars
*             and VAR_UNITS to 64
* V512; *sh* 7/00 - allow SAVE/ILIMITS=n:n (no range) - new arg to EQUAL_RANGE
* V530; *sh* 12/00 - defer writing of axis coordinates and variable data values
*		to a single consolidated point at the end -- to alleviate
*		performance problems due to switching netCDF modes
* V530 *acm* 3/01 pass calendar ID to EQUAL_RANGE
*            4/16/01 properly declare TM_GET_CALENDAR_ID as integer
* V533 *sh* 6/01 - added support for netCDF output string variables
* V600 *acm* 8/05 - Allow more digits in xrevision number
* V552 *acm* 4/03- up SANITARY_VAR_CODE and local variable varcode to 128 chars
* V600 *acm* 6/06  Attribute control; get information for output from  
*                  linked-list structure.
* V600  4/06 *acm* - additional declarations found by Solaris compiler
* V601 10/06 *acm* Fix bug, bug 1454 if the user has set title or units, the users
*                  value is written, previously had always only got these from the
*                  attribute structure, so the new values were not saved.
* V601 10/06 *acm* Fix bug 1460; for value of string attributes, buff is 2048, 
*                  so set buff_size to match. Also, when looping through attributes
*                  (DO 200 loop) only get attribute values from the linked list structure
*                  if they are to be written to the output file.
* V601 10/06 *acm* fix bug 1451, cd_write_var needs the value of mode_upcase_output.
* V602  2/07 *acm* Fix bug 1492, changing attributes of coordinate variables 
* V604  7/07 *acm* Fix bug 1520, if a var has only a _FillValue attribute, and not a 
*                  missing_value one, then neither was written to the output file.
*                  Both should be written.
* V612 8/08  *acm* Fix bug 1587: so that correct bounds are written for axes of a 
*                  user-defined variable, send the dataset number of the underlying 
*                  dataset to cd_write_var
* V62  *acm*  2/09 - Fix bug 1634: allow SAVE/KEEP_AXISNAMES so that child axis names
*                    arent written. They can get too long for OPeNDAP library calls
* V62  *acm*  3/09 - Allow for CANCEL ATT/OUTPUT var.missing_flag and var._FillValue
*                   the special code for these made it impossible to turn off writing
*                   these attributes.
* V641 *acm*  1/10 -Fix bug 1715: packing data on output (bug is in ordering of args
*                   in call to NC_GET_ATTRIB for add_offset, also fix up the output 
*                   missing and FillValue flags which werent correct.)
* V65  *acm*  1/10  Data from some datasets get a mismatch between _FillValue and 
*                   data on output. Fix this.
*       *acm* 3/12  Add E and F dimensions (use nferdims in tmap_dims.parm)
*       *acm* 4/12  The record axis must be the last (slowest varying) axis. If a 
*                   time axis is written, and an E or F axis is written, then write 
*                   in /RIGID mode, with no record axis.
* V680  5/12 *acm* 6D Ferret, changes for DEFINE DATA/AGGREGATE
* V683  8/12 *acm*  New SET LIST/OUTTYPE and SAVE/OUTTYPE 
* V683 12/12 *acm*  Fix ticket 2004: appending data when writing packed variable
* V685 *acm*  3/13  List the full path or url in the history att for variable.
* V685 6/13 *acm* new qualifier SAVE/NOBOUNDS
* V685 6/13 *acm* Dont add SAVE/NOCOORDS
* v685 6/13 *acm*  bug 2081. For string vars, if the len comes back as 0 the variable contains 
*                  just null strings. Set maxstrlen to 1, else we can't define the variable.
* V686 12/13*acm* For string variables from datasets, keep the string-dimension name and length
*                 from the original dataset on output.
* V686 1/14 *acm* Fix ticket 2136: Appending a string variable to a dataset.
* V687 3/14 *acm* Correct the writing of missing and fill attributes when writing a scaled
*                 user-defined variable.	
* V687 3/14 *acm* Fix ticket 1750. Write Ferret-internal axis names to cdf files, unless
*                 the user has said /KEEP_AXISNAMES
* V694 *acm* 3/15 Ticket 2240. Dont send scale, attribute, and bad-val to CD_WRITE_VAR. That
*                 routine gets those attributes per variable from the dataset being written.
* V695 *acm* 7/15 If they said LIST/QUIET, don't do all the warnings and NOTEs
* V698 *acm* 1/16 Allow for Epic CDF files, ds_type = 'ECDF'
* V698  2/16 *acm* For ticket 2352: variables defined with LET/D are
*                  added to that dataset in the attribute structure
* V7   *acm*  6/12 Add Union aggregations: DEFINE DATA/AGG/U, ds_type 'UNI'
* V702 1/17 *sh* for trac enhancement #2369 -- dynamic memory management
