Brent and Paula, I have ported the gribinsert code to the current LDM distribution (tgsv32 is running an old LDM-6.0.10 version compiled for AIX here since it didn't have compilers). I ported the code to eliminate the use of the fortran routines, and placed the distribution tarfile as: ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/gribinsert/gribinsert-1.1.tar.gz The tarfile can be downloaded into the LDMHOME directory (typically ~ldm), and unpacked with "gunzip -c gribinsert.tar.gz | tar xvf - ". This will create a gribinsert-1.1 directory. your ~ldm/ directory would then contain the ldm-6.4.5 (for instance) directory, the gribinsert-1.1 directory, and the runtime/ links that you create when you install the LDM. If you haven't done this for the LDM, you will nbeed to do this to build gribinsert: in LDMHOME..... ln -s ldm-6.4.5 runtime ln -s runtime/src src ln -s runtime/include include ln -s runtime/bin bin ln -s runtime/lib lib then build and install gribinsert with: cd gribinsert-1.1 make all install If sucessful, you will install gribinsert into runtime/bin, and some grib2 tables into LDMHOME/etc. That should get us to the point where we were with tgsv32. If you have trouble building gribinsert, let me know as I had to build this locally and send for Allan (Francis Yang) to install in the past, so I didn't have a distribution tar file set up previously.
