hiya, i just updated the decoders package on shemp, running latest. i changed the pqact to reflect the new file names. currently i left the old entires in place in case there was a need. the problem is 2 files are now created instead of one, surely will be a space problem. i want to comment out the old entries asap. here the name changes: (\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2_avn-q.nc -> (\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1\2_gfs_211.nc (\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2_avn-x.nc -> (\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1\2_gfs_37-44.nc (\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2_ecmf.nc -> (\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1\2_ecmwf_1-12.nc (\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2_eta.nc -> (\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1\2_eta_211.nc (\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2_mrf-a.nc -> (\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1\2_gfs_21-24.nc (\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2_mrf-e.nc -> (\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1\2_gfs_25-26.nc (\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2_ngm-q.nc -> (\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1\2_ngm_211.nc (\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2_ocean.nc -> (\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1\2_ocean_21-24.nc (\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2_ruc.nc -> (\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1\2_ruc_211.nc (\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2_ruc2.nc -> (\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1\2_ruc2_236.nc (\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2_sst-a.nc -> (\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1\2_sst_21-24.nc (\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2_sst-t.nc -> (\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1\2_sst_61-64.nc these are the same name changes implemented on motherlode months ago. 4 digits year and grids in the file. let me know if any problems commenting out the old pqact entries today robb... =============================================================================== Robb Kambic Unidata Program Center Software Engineer III Univ.
