}Just a guess! Parts of VMS are, I believe, written in Fortran.
What, exactly, would the length of the nodename have to do
with the length of a variable name? Do you think that somehwere in
NCL there is a way to make it write some Fortran source code that
uses the nodename as the name of a variable?
You might use the nodename as the *value* of a varaiable, but
when would you use it as the *name* of a variable?
