Stonie,

I didn't include a wildcard for center ID's (the known centers defined in 
cntrgrib1.tbl).
Actually, the "characters" used for wildcards in gribkey.tbl don't matter so 
much as
that when the x, ??? or @@@ are read, the conversion to numbers fails and I 
stick
in a default value to match against. 

I would probably stick -1 in for the p->center when the conversion fails, then 
add an extra
test like if(p->center == center )||(p->center == -1) .

Also would need a center template for the output file name.

Of course, I scan the decoder logs from time to time to find things missing 
from the grib tables.
