Mike,

I've always been a bit afraid of trying to build the OPeNDAP libraries
myself on windows but then I also never tried.

I look on:

   http://www.opendap.org/download/libdap++.html#3.7.9

and it seems to indicate their are windows binaries for the SDK
but somehow I'm too dense to find an actual link to the binaries.
If there was an SDK binary available for Win32 for Visual Studio 2003
(aka vc7.1) then it would be pretty easy for me to incorporate into
FWTools for windows.

Best regards,
