Hi

Rather a long wait for a reply, but I managed to fix our meteograms 3/6hrly
precip display using a function based on the "fixprecip" function which is
at the end of the meteogram_eta.gs script from ftp://iges.org/grads/scripts/

I thought there would be an easier way - as I mentioned in my note earlier
this year, but this does work fine.

Cheers
James
