Yan,
Thanks for pointing out the bug and including the grib file. I believed
that the bugs are now fixed for the Gausian lat/lon grid. I created a new
cdl file by:
% gribtocdl -v test.grib > rtest.cdl
I'm also including the cdl as a reference. I made a decoders release in
the ftp dir pub/decoders/decoders-2.4.1.tar.Z that has all the changes.
Get via ftp:
% ftp www.unidata.ucar.edu
Let me know if any problems occur.

Hello Mr. Kambic,
I have some questions about "gribtonc". I have downloaded it from ucar. It
has been sucefully installed. However, when I used it to transfer a grib
file to netCDF file, I got a "Bus error". I checked the log file. It gave
me such message:
Jan 29 16:29:36 gribtonc[724504]: Starting Up
Jan 29 16:29:36 gribtonc[724504]: test.nc: no variable for N
Jan 29 16:29:36 gribtonc[724504]: test.nc: can't get navigation
information
Jan 29 16:29:36 gribtonc[724504]: make_ncfile failed
I checked my cdl file. The line related to this is:
float n(nav) ;
n:long_name = "XXX" ;
n:units = "" ;
When I used gribdump -h to get the header of my grib file, it said:
Parameter : 71 (N)
Units : percent
After I changed the units of n to "persent", I still got error message in
the log file.

Attached is the cdl file I am using and the grib file I used to test. Do
you have some clue about this and would you please help me out?
