OS: Redhat 7.1
DX: 4.1.3

DX'ers,

I am having problems getting the position attribute correct on
a netcdf file that I am creating.  Here is a small example CDL
file that has one 3d field "cw_mr" and three arrays of earth
location positions of lon (x), lat (y), level (z).

The following use of "positions" and "product" came from the
usersguide in section B5.  I think it is correct as far as I can tell.
DX crashes trying to import and before I can get any describe
messages.

Am I doing this wrong?

Bill
