[R] big difference between ncdf and RNetCDF ?

[Jannis]

Dear package authors, dear r-help list,


are there any big differences between the ncdf and the RNetCDF package, 
especially with regards to the support of different netcdf versions, 
future maintenacne or speed? I have looked at both packages and their 
capabilities seem to be quiet identical (with regards to their 
functions). I ask because I will give some advice on ncdf and R to a 
group of people highlighting some of the (possible) differences.


Thanks a lot
Jannis
