Hi Baylor,

Thanks for the matlab and ferret examples.  There are at least four
other ways of reading (and potentially "joining") multiple netcdf files
and they are:

  MITgcm/utils/matlab/mnc_assembly.m
    This is a matlab script that will assemble both exch1 and exch2
    domains.  It reads a collection of per-tile MITgcm netcdf output
    files and writes a collection of per-face netcdf files.

  MITgcm/utils/matlab/rdmnc.m
    This is meant to be a "netcdf version of rdmds".  It reads 
    and spatially assembles multiple MITgcm netcdf output files.

  MITgcm/utils/matlab/gmt/rdnctiles.m
    This is another "netcdf version of rdmds".  Its newer than 
    rdmnc and has more flexibility.  It can perform "assembly"
    of exch1-style XY arrays, exch2-style cubes, and can also 
    return matlab structures with per-tile information that 
    can handle completely general tile/face topologies.

  NCO:  http://nco.sourceforge.net/
    NCO is a suite of netcdf tools that can be used to perform 
    all sorts of helpful pre- and post-processing.  With the NCO
    utilities its relatively easy to extract hyper-slabs,
    concatenate along various dimensions, etc.

NOTE:  All of the above MatLAB scripts rely upon Chuck Denham's
       MexCDF (aka "mexcdf53") toolbox.
