I changed the TDEF to 61, and re-ran gribmap.  (I've attached the
output.)  I was able to display data for t=1 to t=7, but,
nothing higher.

I think so...I don't know...I have files like:
2008100100.AWIPSF06.tm00.sg - 2008100100.AWIPSF36.tm00.sg,
2008100200.AWIPSF06.tm00.sg - 2008100200.AWIPSF36.tm00.sgetc.  So, on
each day, I have a 00Z file and a 12Z file, with forecasts steps of f06,
f12, f18...f36.

Sp, I'm really not sure how to handle this..

I'm actually just trying to make a control file for the GDS...so...long
time series of forecast data...I guess...there is no "initial data" in
this dataset.  (i.e., 2008100100.AWIPSF00.tm00.sg)
