The inner product of two vectors [x0, x1, ..., xn] and [y0, y1, ..., yn] is just x0*y0 + x1*y1 + ... + xn*yn.

(2)

A point's coordinate offset vector gives, for each dimension, the offset from the origin of the containing array to the point. In C, a point's coordinate offset vector is the same as it's coordinate vector. In FORTRAN, however, the values of a point's coordinate offset vector are one less than the corresponding values of the point's coordinate vector.

The current implementation of XDR on MSDOS systems restricts the amount of data accessed to no more than 64 Kbytes for each call to ncvarput (or NCVPT or NCVPTC for FORTRAN).

The current implementation of XDR on MSDOS systems restricts the amount of data accessed to no more than 64 Kbytes for each call to ncvarget (or NCVGT or NCVGTC for FORTRAN).
