   This is an example which reads some 4D pressure and temperature
   values. The data file read by this program is produced by the
   companion program pres_temp_4D_wr.cpp. It is intended to illustrate
   the use of the netCDF C++ API.

   This program is part of the netCDF tutorial:
   http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-tutorial
