Will future versions of the netCDF library continue to support accessing files in the classic format?
Yes, the 3.6 library and all planned future versions of the library will continue to support reading and writing files using the classic (32-bit offset) format as well as the new 64-bit offset format. There is no need to convert existing archives from the classic to the 64-bit offset format. Even netCDF-4, which will introduce a third variant of the netCDF format based on HDF5, will continue to support accessing classic format netCDF files as well as 64-bit offset netCDF files.
