[IDV #WWB-790357]: simple difference on objective analyses



Hi Brian-

The tomorrow morning's build will have a fix for this.   Now, you can subtract 
in either order.  You can pick up the nightly build from:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/nightly

This is 2.8 alpha 1.  We are planning a 2.8beta1 release next week if you want 
to wait.

One more thing off my plate. ;-)
