_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Obtains the variable names and dimension names from a netCDF file.
     This routine provides some of the information returned by
     `names.netCDF', however this function does not depend on the
     `netCDF' library.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     cdfcont(filename)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

filename: name of netCDF file.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     a list object containing two character vectors: `vars' and `dims'
     holding the names of the variables and dimensions. `dims' gives
     the dimensions for each of the variable, and may contain several
     names within the same string, separated by a comma, eg.
     "LONS","LATS",and "LATS, LONS" (`strsplit("TIME, LATS, LONS",",
     ")' can be used to split up these variables into seperate names)
