HansPeter,

i investigated the problem with Grib2 decoder not being able to decode the
space products, ie
MSG1-SEVI-MSGCLTH-0100-0100-20060102114500.000000000Z-12774_GRIB.grb

at first it seemed to be a table problem but that's not the case.
the products do not follow the standard Grib encoding, there are
extra characters inserted between the Grib format sections that's the
problem. i had the same problem with the Grib 1 format from some of the
european centers. i tried the Grib 1 format fix then the decoder was able to
decode the first 5 sections of the product but then the 6th section
didn't begin at the correct position. at this time, i could some help in
finding out the format of the product, so i can modify the decoder. i did a
quick look for the product information but was unable to get the information
i needed. Could you contact the data provider to get the structure of the
product?  or get a contact person for this product?

thanks,
robb...
