[gradsusr] updating gribtab.dat not working?

[Wesley Ebisuzaki]

Alister,

    This is a forum of GrADS and not for wgrib2 development.

    If peole want to add an additional gribtable to wgrib2, they have to
include the new gribtable.dat in gribtab.c.   If Environment Canada wants
to add a local table to wgrib2, fine -- send me the table.

    The missing perl script just changes the grib table from tabular format
to a C-language format.  Pretty trivial program.
