Re: [gembud] dcgrib2 maxgrids

Hi Russ,

What is the max-grid(s) entry in your $GEMTBL/grid/gibkey.tbl file for the
NAM? Also, do you really need to decode 100,000 grids in one file? I
believe GEMPAK limits total to 32,000 and I only see 658 grids in the file
you posted. If you really need to be able to decode 100,000 grids in one
file, my guess is that you will have to split up the files.

Best,

Victor Gensini
