All,

We've been corresponding on this topic behind the scenes, and believe
the latest version (a033) of NCL should fix the problem. A similar
problem was reported last year, but embarrassingly, we can't seem to
find the resolution on it.

If anybody out there has QuickScat HDF files and is reading them
successfully with the latest version of NCL, we'd appreciate hearing
from them. :-)
