Brian,

I always roll my changes into the SSEC CVS for McIDAS.

SSEC made some small changes to XCD routines in v2003, and I simply
_forgot_ that I needed to update gribdec.tar.Z with them.  Thanks
for reminding me.

>I haven't looked at it in awhile, but I can

It would help me out if you had a list of routines that were different.

>I know you're a busy man, so feel free to break out in laughter as you read
>this question but, is there any guess on a timeframe of when GRIB2 to McIDAS
>GRID will be ready?

He says as he wipes his eyes that have teared up from laughter: no, I 
don't yet have a timeframe :-)

Cheers,

Tom
