Jennie,

re: availability of standalone program fashioned after XCD's dmgrid.k
    for decoding grib messages into McIDAS GRID files

>Great, though I certainly I won't get to this before returning from
>the UserComm meeting. 

Chad sent me a compressed tar file of the standalone decoder with
the following commentary:

"It's basically a front end to the -XCD grib decoder routines. One thing it
doesn't do is meld partial grids together ie. the ECMWF and thinned grids."

I put the file, gribdec.tar.Z in the unix/760/testcode directory of
our passworded McIDAS FTP account.  Please remember to FTP it in
binary mode and read the README.TXT file that is included.
