    NCL-talkers,

    We are pleased to announce that a new version of NCL (4.2.0.a032)
    is now available for download:

        http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ncl/download.html

    This version has the long-awaited feature of being able to generate
    contours on non-uniform grids. This is probably the most significant
    functionality added to NCL since its release in 1995.

    For more information on the types of grids that NCL can now contour
    and to view some examples, see:

       http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ncl/grids/

    Since this new functionality has only been tested on a handful of
    grids, we are asking the user community to help us test this new
    capability. We will be happy to help you get started.

    This version also has several new processing and graphics functions
    and capability enhancements. To list a few:

       - a much faster version of the EOF routines
       - functions for writing Vis5D files
       - an enhanced GRIB reader
       - function for assigning randomly spaced data onto the nearest
         locations of a grid with two-dimensional latitude and longitude
         arrays

    For the full list of what's new, see:

    If you have any problems or questions, feel free to email me,
    haley@ucar.edu.

    Cheers,

    --Mary
