Re: Salotto's support request

Greg,

 x8 file that was submitted with your bug report has some major 
problems.  the GDS has lat/lon of 301/225 so that means there 
should be 67725 points for each parameter. just looking at parm
176 i found some of the data had 67725 points and others had
17063 points. i even checked the code on the debugger.  i made a
script to extract the number of points for each record that i'll
include the results. it's strange that the number of points start
out correctly but then revert to 17063.

Are you sure that this is good data??? Maybe you can report these
finding to the data provider for some explainations.

Robb...

length is number of pts.
