Hello GEMPAK users,

We are wanting to use the 0.7 mb height, temp, and wind from the new GFS v16. 
However, after decoding the file and doing a gdinfo, the 0.7 mb level doesn't 
show up. I am assuming GEMPAK has an issue with a pressure level as a decimal. 
I also assume NCEP likely provided a fix for that. Has anyone using Unidata 
GEMPAK fixed this to look at data < 1 mb?

Thanks,
Robert Mullenax
