Thanks. Will it matter if there are a mixture of stacked and unstacked files
(I have only stacked pre-2004, unstacked after that). Have been working on a
wgrib script to unstack them and rename them, but if I can just throw the
together, all the better. I guess I should stop being lazy a download a mix to
my test server and sees what happens.
