Re: Writing ascii data with NCL

Hi all,

We plan to look at this request closely and figure out the best
way to supplement our current ASCII writing capabilities. It will
most likely end up being a new procedure, as "asciiwrite" doesn't
really have the ability to be amended without doing something
weird like changing the current meaning of the input arguments.

We'll keep you posted.
