20050609: 20050608: Multiple files in GEMPAK

Charles,

The grid library had a substantial rewrite beginning with 5.8.1 to better
handle file templates/times etc. with better management for opening/closing,
ensembles, etc., so unless you have reasons for not upgrading, that would be 
the best route since code snippets would require going through the library 
routines to match up changes and any differences related to that rewrite.
