Re: passing multiple variables as a set

Hi Rob, The best I've been able to do is attach
items to a variable (either a variable you are actually
using or a dummy one such as VAR=True) by means of
attributes. You can attach all data types as attributes,
as well as 1D and 2D arrays, e.g. VAR@lat2d = lat2d,
VAR@name = "dummy", ... You can then pass this around.

I believe you are limited to this modified NetCDF data
model, so you cannot do mutliple level structures as you
may be used to.

Any other ideas on methods to do this ?
