Mark,

Those file names look like what would be created prior to pl12 distribution
since I added the @@@ at that time, and before pl12, the year 2000 was a date
bug. Your download of pl12 was Nov 1...but the tarfile might not have
gotten the dcgrib update.

However, I do see that you downloaded the pl15 linux binary distribution
on Jan 26. You should update the dcgrib decoder to pl15 (either binary 
distribution
or local build) since it will allow you to use the UK Met grids as
well.
