Problem with ushort format in netCDF4

Dear user,
  I have a problem extracting nc file with my NCL code. When I tried to use
this code which my colleague gave me, I got the error like " unknow netCDF
format". Moreover, I found my new nc file is written in ushort format but
the NCL code is for double format (the code is in the attachment for your
reference). The information of the nc file is as below. Could you please
give me some advices how to revise the code to extract the data? Thank you.

netcdf hadcm3.a1b.grid.conus.pr.1970.1979 {
dimensions:
        lat = 222 ;
        lon = 462 ;
        time = UNLIMITED ; // (3650 currently)
variables:
        double lat(lat) ;
                lat:units = "degrees_north" ;
                lat:long_name = "latitude" ;
        double lon(lon) ;
                lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
                lon:long_name = "longitude" ;
        ushort pr(time, lat, lon) ;
                pr:scale_factor = 0.1 ;
                pr:units = "mm" ;
                pr:missing_value = 65535 ;
                pr:long_name = "24h_cumulative_precipitation" ;
        int time(time) ;
                time:units = "days since 1959-12-31" ;
                time:long_name = "time" ;

// global attributes:
                :history = "Created using the resources of the High
Performance Computing Center at Texas Tech University Thu May 19 16:01:36
CDT 2011\n: converted double to NC_USHORT with scale factor of 10 for file
at location /Volumes/Scratch/conus_grid/hadcm3/
hadcm3.a1b.grid.conus.pr.1970.1979.nc" ;
                :nco_openmp_thread_number = 1 ;
                :source = "Downscaled using a statistical asynchronous
regression technique after Stoner & Hayhoe from the U.K. Met Office HadCM3
historical abqzda (1960-1974) and abqzdd (1975-1990) and future acfxd
(1991-2099) simulations. " ;
}
