Converting from Regrid2 to lterp()

[Ben Quinn]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the reply.

Well, that's dissapointing! I can't understand why UDF's would have been
excluded from the new version of GRADS - i'm sure there's a good reason
but...

I guess i'll be converting Grib2 to Grib1 for now so i can continue using
your excellent UDF.

Ben
