Re: Conditional Script Loading and Re: A Simple where() Function for NCL Versions prior to 4.3.0

Well, if we're all lucky, the next version will be 5.0.0 (fully open
source), and this test should work fine. Or, even if the next version
is 4.3.2, it should be okay. The following short script produced
all "is less than" output, which was the expected output:

versions = (/"4.2.0.a034","4.3.0", "4.3.1","4.3.2","4.4.0","5.0","5.0.0"/)
nv = dimsizes(versions)
do i=0,nv-2
   do j=i+1,nv-1
     if( versions(i) .lt. versions(j)) then
       print(versions(i) + " is less than " + versions(j))
     else
       print(versions(i) + " is not less than " + versions(j))
     end if
   end do
end do

The NCL team hasn't considered changing the version numbering scheme.
We moved away from the weird "4.2.0.axxx" numbering, and are now
using the "x.y.z" format.

Good question!
