Update R Import/Export Manual? was: [R] A package to read and write NetCDF?

[Angel Lopez]

Maybe this package and the one I mentioned (ncdf) should be in the 
manual "R Data Import/Export" that now says:
---
Binary data formats


Packages hdf5 and netCDF on CRAN provide experimental interfaces to 
NASA's HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format, see 
http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/) and to UCAR's netCDF data files (network 
Common Data Form, see http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/), 
respectively.


Both of these are systems to store scientific data in array-oriented 
ways, including descriptions, labels, formats, units, .... HDF5 also 
allows groups of arrays, and the R interface maps lists to HDF5 groups, 
and can write numeric and character vectors and matrices.


The R interface can only read netCDF, not write it (yet).

Well, the yet seems no longer valid, package ncdf (and apparently 
clim.pact also) are able to write netCDF.
cheers,
Angel
