The "ncdf4" package is an interface to the netcdf library, version 4. So, it would need an existing MS Windows version of the netcdf version 4 library to interface *to*. That library, in turn, requires a MS Windows version of the hdf5 library. As far as I know, neither the netcdf version 4 library nor the hdf version 5 libraries are available for MS Windows. So, getting R package ncdf4 for windows would be pointless, since the underlying libraries it relies on are not available. If anyone knows of a MS Windows binary for the netcdf (version 4) and hdf (version 5) libraries, email me, and I'll put together a R ncdf4 package for MS Windows.
