Re: NCL Version 6.1.1 now available

Hi folks,

A clarification on the "Several NetCDF input/output bugs fixed": this is
in reference to NetCDF-4 files, and not to the NetCDF "classic"
formats, which have worked as they always have.

For clarification on what the different NetCDF formats are, see
the Unidata write-up at:
