+! Description:
+! ------------
+!> Generalized routine for reading strings from a netCDF variable
+!> to replace existing get_variable_string ( )
+!>
+!> Improvements:
+!>   - Expanded string size limit from 25 to 512
+!>   - No longer removes spaces between text magically (this seems to have
+!>     been aimed at a very specific application, but I don't know what)
+!>   - Simplified implementation
+!>
+!> Caveats:
+!>   - Somehow I could not get the subroutine to work with str_array(:,:)
+!>     so I reverted to a hard-coded str_array(:,512), hopefully large enough
+!>     for most general applications.  This also means the character variable
+!>     used for str_array must be of size (:,512)
