[IDV #WYJ-656722]: yet another grib1 idiom

As usual, it's a matter of not having the right tables.  I took a look at the 
data and am guessing that it's U & V winds.  I made a table following the 
guidelines at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/IDV/docs/userguide/data/GribTables.html

The attached plugin has the grib1tablelookup.lst and a fabricated file for the 
two parameters (201, 202).  Grib parameters higher than 128 are center 
specific.  I tried using an ECMWF table, but in there, the parameters were 
max/min temps.  

If your colleague could supply the real grib table to us, we could add it into 
the
distribution.  I looked on the South African Weather Service web site, but 
couldn't
even find a place to do a search.

Anyway, install the attached plugin and that will at least allow you to plot the
sample file you gave me (assuming they are u and v winds).
