forcing input type when filename wrong

Hi,
sometimes we have to deal with large quantities of files which are wrongly named, for example, netcdffiles not ending with the .nc suffix. Is there same way of getting around this
in NCL without having to call on the system command, like creating an internal symbolic link or a fake file name pointing to the online one, or using something like setfileoptions
(which I think only works for writing to new files, not reading)?

Many thanks,
Mark.
