HansPeter,

i investigated the problem with Grib2 decoder not being able to decode the 
space products, ie 
MSG1-SEVI-MSGCLTH-0100-0100-20060102114500.000000000Z-12774_GRIB.grb

at first it seemed to be a table problem but that's not the case.  the products 
do not follow the standard Grib encoding, there are extra characters inserted 
between the Grib format sections that's the problem. i had the same problem 
with the Grib 1 format from some of the european centers. i tried the Grib 1 
format fix then the decoder was able to decode the first 5 sections of the 
product but then the 6th section didn't begin at the correct position. at this 
time, i could some help in finding out the format of the product, so i can 
modify the decoder. i did a quick look for the product information but was 
unable to get the information i needed. Could you contact the data provider to 
get the structure of the product?  or get a contact person for this product?

thanks,
robb...
