Hello,

I'm trying to script OPeNDAP downloads with Windows-based R.  The data
sources I'm looking at right now give ascii files with a (CDL?) format that
I don't know how to work with easily.  Is there a package
(raster/ncdf/etc?) that can directly handle these files and convert them
into a standard raster format in Windows?  I'd prefer to just directly
download a NetCDF or another format I'm familiar with, but I can't get that
to work (the only other format I can get is .dods).  Here is an example
file:

http://dataserver.nccs.nasa.gov/thredds/dodsC/bypass/NEX-DCP30/bcsd/historical/r1i1p1/bcc-csm1-1-m_tasmin.ncml.ascii?bcc-csm1-1-m_tasmin[0:1:5][0:1:10][0:1:15]

Thanks!!!
-Noah
