Vasso,

First I want to apologize for the delay in getting back to you.  I was out
of town at the AMS meeting last week and yesterday was a USA holiday.

First, I believe you obtained a older version of the code that had the
bugs that you mentioned.

The latest version of the code is: decoders-2.4.1.tar.Z

This code can be obtained by ftp

% ftp www.unidata.ucar.edu

login as anonymous

% cd pub/decoders
% get decoders-2.4.1.tar.Z

The decoders-2.4.1.tar.Z is source code that has to be built, I usually
don't build binaries because there are so many platforms. There is a
decoders home page with hints about installation at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/decoders

I checked the cdls that come with the package, there are ones for the

avn-1.25x1.25.cdl and avn-1.0x1.0.cdl included.

I hope this solves your problems.

Robb...

Dear coleague

i have downloaded the decoders you are providing in order to convert AVN GRIB 
to netcdf.
I have downloaded the avn*cdl files and tried with the 1x1deg global avn in 
GRIB format using the cdl you provide in order  to turn it to ncdf but i am 
getting a segmentation fault
I run in LINUX and downloaded the binaries from your site.
I would appreciate if you could help me on this.
On the other hand i am looking for a *cdl for european domain avn 1.25x1.25 
files
do you know who could help me on this?

Thank you in advance
Vasso

PS i tested gridump with my GRIB file and it worked
    i also tested to run gribtocdl but the output was getting extremely big and 
so i stopped the job. The header was good
    but in the lon, lat section it was writting out big numbers expect from the 
first number
