I changed how the GFS grids were being filed, and I was able to dislay today's GFS grids past FHOUR=120 on my machine here at the UPC: DATALOC ADD RTGRIDS adde.ucar.edu GRDLIST RTGRIDS/GFS FORM=FILE ALL DATASET NAME: RTGRIDS/GFS Dataset Position Creation Date Max Grids Directory Title ---------------- ------------- --------- ------------------------------- 6 2003256 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 0 HR<=VT<=24 HR 7 2003257 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 0 HR<=VT<=24 HR 8 2003258 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 0 HR<=VT<=24 HR 16 2003256 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 24 HR< VT<=48 HR 17 2003257 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 24 HR< VT<=48 HR 18 2003258 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 24 HR< VT<=48 HR 26 2003256 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 48 HR< VT<=72 HR 27 2003257 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 48 HR< VT<=72 HR 28 2003258 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 48 HR< VT<=72 HR 36 2003256 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 72 HR< VT<=96 HR 37 2003257 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 72 HR< VT<=96 HR 38 2003258 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 72 HR< VT<=96 HR 46 2003256 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 96 HR< VT<=120HR 47 2003257 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 96 HR< VT<=120HR 48 2003258 5000 ALL 00Z GFS 96 HR< VT<=120HR 56 2003256 5000 ALL 06Z GFS 0 HR<=VT<=24 HR 57 2003257 5000 ALL 06Z GFS 0 HR<=VT<=24 HR 58 2003258 5000 ALL 00Z GFS > 120 HR 66 2003256 5000 ALL 06Z GFS 24 HR< VT<=48 HR ...

Cheers, Tom >From address@hidden Tue Sep 16 07:31:34 2003 Hi Tom: Yeah, I noted they were accessible last week some time. Figured you had taken care of it. At just about the same time, some kiddies from Italy decided to use cumulus.smsu.edu as an IRC game machine. Iceland complained, so now I have created an international incident. OOPS! Thanks. Bill
