Shangyao,

Copying the files will not affect the AVN which still uses the 
edition 2 files. Createing the new files will just allow the
decoders to suceed in opening the required files when an edition 3
grib bulletin is found. SST datasteats are the only dataset from NCEP
that I know of that currently uses the edition 3.
