ncpdq  packs  or  re-shapes  variables  in input-file and stores them in output-file.  Which variables to
       pack/unpack are determined by the packing policy encoded in the pck_plc argument to the -P switch.  Valid
       pck_plc options are all_new,all_xst,xst_new, and upk.  The numeric type of variable to pack or  re-pack
       a  variable  to is determined by the packing map encoded in the pck_map argument to the -M switch.  Valid
       pck_map options are flt_byt,flt_sht,hgh_byt,hgh_sht, and nxt_lsr.ncpdq re-shapes variables in input-file by re-ordering  and/or  reversing  dimensions  specified  in  the
       dimension  list.  The dimension list is a comma separated list of dimension names, optionally prefixed by
       negative signs, that follow the -a switch.  To re-order  variables  by  a  subset  of  their  dimensions,
       specify  these  dimensions  in  a  comma-separated  list  following  -a,  e.g., -alon,lat.  To reverse a
       dimension, prefix its name with a negative sign in the dimension list, e.g., -a-lat.   Re-ordering  and
       reversal may be performed simultaneously, e.g., -alon,-lat,time,-lev.

       Users may specify any permutation of dimensions, including permutations which change the record dimension
       identity.   The  record dimension is re-ordered like any other dimension.  The record dimension is always
       the most slowly varying dimension in a record variable.   The  specified  re-ordering  will  fail  if  it
       requires creating more than one record dimension amongst all the output variables.

       The full documentation for NCO is maintained as a Texinfo manual called the NCOUsersGuide.  Because NCO
       is mathematical in nature, the documentation includes TeX-intensive portions not viewable  on  character-
       based  displays.   Hence  the only complete and authoritative versions of the NCOUsersGuide are the PDF
       (recommended), DVI, and Postscript versions at <http://nco.sf.net/nco.pdf>,  <http://nco.sf.net/nco.dvi>,
       and    <http://nco.sf.net/nco.ps>,    respectively.    HTML   and   XML   versions   are   available   at
       <http://nco.sf.net/nco.html> and <http://nco.sf.net/nco.xml>, respectively.

       If the info and NCO programs are properly installed at your site, the command

              infonco

       should give you access to the complete manual, except for the TeX-intensive portions.
