Hi Owen,

It should, but you are right to be skeptical.
>I have the 1x1 degree analyses of the final run (FNL) of the NCEP global

OK.
>Would it be straight forward for you to try to decode one of these GRIB
>files?
Yes.
>I could put an example file on our ftp server.
OK.
>I would just like to make sure that the GRIB file can be decoded before
>Hsie and I potentially run into problems with the decoder and wind up

The warning/error messages output by the decoder should provide the
information necessary.
>Please let me know what you think,
The real key to the evaluation of the decoding will be if the resulting
plots of the fields are correct. This is something that you will need
to evaluate, but I am willing to run gribdec.k through a decode run and
let you know what I experience.
