Re: **TMAP ERR: limit on number of grid lines....
Hi Carlos,
I'll email you off-line and see if we can sort out why the limit on the number
of grid lines is occuring.
Regarding the seeming duplication of information in the MC descriptor files --
it is deliberate sanity checking. The NetCDF files are self-describing, but the
MC descriptor is ASCII human-created. Checks of this sort, though a nuisance,
ensure that the self-describing data is faithfully presented. (The MC
descriptors reuse previously created file management machinery that was used in
"GT" data sets -- so it is admittedly not as elegant as it could be. But it
works reliably ...)

I'll Email you off-line and see if we can sort this out.

This is deliberate sanity checking. The NetCDF files are binary,
self-describing and binar, but the MC descriptor is ASCII human-created. Checks
of this sort, though a nuisance, ensure that the data is faithfully
represented. Trade-offs ...
