Hi Victor,

There is no check in GDPROF to *not* interpolate down to 1000mb.  This has 
always been a small annoyance to me, since GDCROSS will use  HGHT@0%none (if 
available in the model grid) to limit the lower extent of interpolation.   I 
will have to investigate how easy or difficult it would be to add such 
functionality to GDPROF, but I can't make any promises about when such a thing 
would be finished.

Michael
