Re: [ferret_users] Error when opening nc file

[zhen.li@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Tony:

I think the nc file that I am having trouble to open is just too big. It's 
6 gbytes.
I can use GrADs to open it. But, it's not working when using ferret.
Also, "ncks" command failed as well.

Has anyone run into this problem before? Is there any upper limit for the 
file size
for ferret?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Zhen
