Jennifer,<div><br></div><div> In GrADS v1 the index file created by gribmap used to endianess-portable. The same index file could be used on both little and big-endian machines alike. I just tried the *.idx file created on my Mac PPC with "a2" and it does not work on Linux. If I rerun gribmap on Linux it produces a different idx file, and now GrADS v2 can read my Grib-2 file just fine. </div>
<div><br></div><div> Being able to use the same idx on different machine is very important for people distributing data on DVDs. <br clear="all"><br></div><div> Arlindo</div><div><br>-- <br>Arlindo da Silva<br><a href="mailto:dasilva@alum.mit.edu">dasilva@alum.mit.edu</a>
