Vasso, First I want to apologize for the delay in getting back to you. I was out of town at the AMS meeting last week and yesterday was a USA holiday. First, I believe you obtained a older version of the code that had the bugs that you mentioned. The latest version of the code is: decoders-2.4.1.tar.Z This code can be obtained by ftp % ftp www.unidata.ucar.edu login as anonymous % cd pub/decoders % get decoders-2.4.1.tar.Z The decoders-2.4.1.tar.Z is source code that has to be built, I usually don't build binaries because there are so many platforms. There is a decoders home page with hints about installation at: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/decoders I checked the cdls that come with the package, there are ones for the avn-1.25x1.25.cdl and avn-1.0x1.0.cdl included. I hope this solves your problems. Robb...
