Charles,
     I checked the physical file, and the typo is in the file. Not sure how you 
plan to fix it.

Murray,
      See the attached jar file, this is a plugin created for this kind of typo 
files located locally or remotely. Please install it and restart the IDV, when 
you load the dataset, you need to select the data source type as "GSTPP data 
file". You should get what you wanted.
