* Get the bounds of the hyperslab of the given netCDF variable
* from its (generic) dimension limits

* Programmer Steve Hankin
* NOAA/PMEL, Seattle, WA - Tropical Modeling and Analysis Program

* revision 0.0 - 3/92
*  1/95 *sh*: synchronize the start coordinates of the axes in the CDF file
*		with the coordinates from the grid being written
*  11/96 *kob* - Linux Port - had to use F90 intrinsic function TRANSFER
*			    - to properly pass cvdim variable (not array)
*		   	      to the NCVINQ routine.
* V500 4/99 *kob*: increase size of vname and axnam from 24 to 64
*	- for wacky DODS variables
* V533 *sh* 6/01 - add support for string variables (NF_CHAR)
* V500 4/99 *kob*: increase size of vname and axnam from 24 to 64
* V552 *acm* 5/03   increase vname to 128 chars 
* V65  *acm* 1/10  Change all netcdf2-style calls and parameter names to 
*                  netcdf3-style calls, which are also consistent with netcdf4.
* V65  *acm* 1/10  Add #ifdef usingDODSf2cUnderscore, for 32-bit linux build
*                  linked with OPeNDAP library.
* V68  *acm* 1/12  ifdef double_p for double-precision ferret.
* V674 2/12 *acm* 6D Ferret: use nferdims rather than 4 for dimension indexing
* V686 4/13 *acm* Fix ticket 2064: use single-precision comparisons

* argument definitions:
*	cdfid   - id of currently open CDF file
*       ivar    - CDF variable ID of the desired variable
*       grid    - TMAP grid number
*       tmlo    - lo subscript limits from TMAP grid
*       cdflo   - array of (nferdims) lower bounds subscripts (returned)
*       cdfhi   - array of (nferdims) upper bounds subscripts
*       tmrecdim- returned axis (1-nferdims) which is CDF record dimension (or 0)
