T., please, send me this <font face="Arial, Helvetica">fnl_20081112_00_00_c.ctl file.
<br />
<br />What Windows version are you using?
<br />
<br />I suppose you are not using cygwin. In what window are you running gribmap?

Dear Ricardo and Jeniffer,
<br />>
<br />> I have fnl file with the name
of fnl_20081112_00_00_c, I run the gribmap and in the command line I
wrote:
<br />>
<br />> gribmap -i fnl_20081112_00_00_c.ctl
<br />>
<br />> but the command window was closed after this command. I also repeated
it with -v but the window was closed again.
<br />>
<br />>
Regards,
<br />>

what kind of "conversion" you did, but certainly it is not necessary, since the
fnl files, with that _c as suffix, are already in GRIB 1 format.

maybe I have to do it again. I have a question; the source fnl file has a size
of 23 MB, but after converting it to a ctl and
!
an idx file, each of them has a size of just seven kb, is it correct
a
nd acceptable? I think maybe the converting process has not been done correctly.
