In the documentation, if there was an Example3 including what to do from an even lower level if you don't have a file to copy a bunch of attributes, then it would greatly help. I tried in my script to just set a scalar, integer variable by name time with value=1. Hah, should have known it wasn't that simple. However, if I just skip assigning any value to a variable with that name and skip the writing of this variable, I do get a "time" variable shown in ncview application with a 1.E20 value.
