URL/Manuals

I am trying to download the ncargraphics manuals from the net.
I tried the URL
               http://ngwww.ucar.edu:7777/ ,
which I got from the "SCD COMPUTING NEWS." However this URL seems
to no longer exist. Could someone please tell me how to access the
ncargraphics documentation? I am interested in the manuals of
versions 3.2.x.

Thanks in advance!

Manuel

Dear Mr. Knight,

Try using the command "ncgmstat -c" to count the number of frames
in your file:

 set loopcount=`ncgmstat -c file.name`
