Re: passing multiple variables as a set

Rob,

Consider using Netcdf files as containers. They do exactly what you
describe, except (1) they require space on disk and (2) they are
slower than ram. You can even have arrays of Netcdf files via the
NCL file handles.

This should work fine for many applications, but may be too slow for
massive number crunching.
