Pascal Oettli: MERCI BEAUCOUP! (though I would have thanked you earlier if I hadn't had to dig through the r-help digest first :-)

Dave Pierce: I assert that the current error is waaay too subtle: - I don't get an error when I nc_open without assigning. - I don't get an error when I ncvar_put to that file's datavar. - I only get an error when I ncvar_get from the datavar. - Nothing about the error text (IMHO) would lead one to the fix. (Note also that neither ncvar_put or nc_close appear to require assignment, which is probably what made me think I could nc_open without assignment.) Can ncdf4 be made to fail more helpfully? E.g., to fail immediately on nc_open without assignment? thanks again!
