Re: questions about gribtonc.

Yan,
Thanks for pointing out the bug and including the grib file. I believed
that the bugs are now fixed for the Gausian lat/lon grid. I created a new
cdl file by:
% gribtocdl -v test.grib > rtest.cdl
I'm also including the cdl as a reference. I made a decoders release in
the ftp dir pub/decoders/decoders-2.4.1.tar.Z that has all the changes.
Get via ftp:
% ftp www.unidata.ucar.edu
Let me know if any problems occur.
Robb...
