>From: "Jennie L. Moody" <address@hidden> >Organization: UVa >Keywords: 199909240305.VAA23966 McIDAS-XCD 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.
