John, What is the replacement for ucar.nc2.iosp.grib.GribGridServiceProvider.setIndexAlwaysInCache(boolean) in 4.3? Or is there a replacement? If there is no replacement, that will cause some trouble. You may recall my inquiring a couple years ago about being able to control where GRIB index files were being written because Panoply users were complaining about GBX files cluttering up their file systems. rbs -- Robert B.

Hi Robert: you can set it globally (for CDM library) with: ucar.nc2.util.DiskCache.setCachePolicy(true);the GribGridServiceProvider.setIndexAlwaysInCache() allowed one to set it for just grib files, but no one used it that was AFAIK.
will that suffice for you? John
