I tried running your McBasi and it's croaking >when it tries to do the IMGREMAP of TOPO/GLOB, is TOPO/GLOB a topography map >or something? TOPO is a dataset of topographic images. TOPO/GLOB is a full earth topography image in MERCator projection. The AREA file that represents this image, AREA9000, can also be found in the pub/mcidas/data directory of anonymous FTP on our FTP server. To use this image, do the following: o FTP AREA9000 to a directory in your MCPATH -- use binary mode! o create the TOPO/GLOB dataset: DSSERVE ADD TOPO/GLOB AREA 9000 9000 "Global (Mercator) I have a set of topographic AREA files in different projections that I use to populate the TOPO dataset. I can make these available if you are interested. After you have a TOPO/GLOB dataset, CFILLCLP should work as expected.

Tom, Thanks for all the good suggestions. I was able to get the decode of the RCM's to work. I only had to make one other change in NOGRIB.CFG. I had an entry in this file starting with "0", which I had to comment out. Now it's happily decoding the data. I've been playing with GRDIMG and different enhancements. Thanks for sharing your enhancements and the mcbasi script. I will give these a try as well.
