Alain,
        There are many changes from 3.0 to 5.2, especially those variable 
naming changed of grib2 files in the new java library. In the earlier version 
IDV 4.1 or 5.0, we do
provide an interface for the user to make these changes easier, with those 
interface, you will be prompted to select the new variable name if the IDV can 
not
find one automatically, and the new bundle should be saved in that situation. 
In general we support the backward compatibility in the whole IDV development, 
but unfortunately, some of the library we rely on broke this design. We will 
recommend you to upgrade to 5.2 with many new and excited features in the 
latest 
release.
