Tom, It looks like you are running a very old version of dcgrib with a bug I patched prior to the pl12 distribution. You can update just the dcgrib decoder at this time- but there are other fixes along the way. I will be updating the complete distribution tarfile here with the latest patches #14, #15 in the next day or so. To update your dcgrib, download from ftp.unidata.ucar.edu (using the gbuddy login and password you have) the file nawips-5.4/patches/dcgrib.tar.Z to your $NAWIPS directory. Then extract and build with: zcat dcgrib.tar.Z | tar xvf - cd $NAWIPS/unidata/ldmbridge/dcgrib make clean make all make install make clean Then copy your dcgrib from the $GEMEXE directory into your ~ldm/decoders directory.
