Hi,  
I have a netCDF problem with the recent ParaView binaries for Windows. Currently, I use the nightly versions, and when opening a regular netCDF CF file, an error is shown that vtkVisit… is not able to read the data, even though I explicitly chose the regular netCDF CF reader. That issue was not before 5.6, and an older version 5.5 works well and can read the data. Under Linux I build everything myself and no problems there…  
Any ideas?  
Thanks and Cheers, Niklas
