Hi Brian-

It took me a while to figure this out, mostly because I couldn't
spell the file name right in my grib1lookuptable.lst. ;-)

OK, now this is in ~/.metapps/DefaultIdv

Now, grib1lookuptable.lst has in it:

3:-1:-1:nceptab_2.tab
0:-1:-1:nceptab_2.tab

with the same error message.


I think the solution is to make this:

3:-1:2:nceptab_2.tab
0:-1:2:nceptab_2.tab

(at least it worked on my system).  I guess the only thing that
can use the -1 (to specify any) is the subcenter.

Let me know if this doesn't work for you.


A sample file, with center=0, is attached.
If I force center=7, this file is read in.


Thanks, that helped out.


I appreciate your looking at this.


No problem.  Sorry that this took so long to get working.  This
is a new feature and the table formats, etc are poorly documented.
So, you're helping build up the knowledge base.  We'll add a section
on this to the next version of the User's Guide and the FAQ.
