gribtonc is not tied into the ldm, at least as far as being a distributed
piece of software.  it simply takes input from either standard input, or
a file, and writes an output netcdf file.  it works with the ldm because
it can handle input from stdin, allowing the PIPE action to be used with
in the ldm for passing incoming HRS data to the decoder.  but the decoder
itself is an independent piece of software.
