Hi Glenn-

First a request.  If you can, please send your messages in plain text.  
Our support mail reader doesn't support HTML which makes it difficult

Since IDV can't read GRIB directly, do you have a GDS URL that I could
point to?  Can you figure out what units are being returned for the
vertical level?

Also, what version of the IDV are you using (check the Help->About...
dialog).  It may be that the version you have does not have the
fix for units of "mb" as a vertical level.
