Re: a coordinate made up from an array of strings

Dear Mark

The documentation at
(http://ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Manuals/Ref_Manual/NclVariables.shtml#Coordina
tes) implies that coordinate variables can only be "numbers" because they
"represent the data coordinates for each index..." and need to be
monotonically varying.

Good luck
Andrea
