Re: [IDV #MPR-281760]: Problem reading Grib file from IDV

hiya,

i found the information needed for the FSL table 59 0 129. the fix only
required a change in the list of tables so i've attached the list called
tablelookup.lst.  It is possible to replace tablelookup.lst in the
grib.jar and everything should should work ok. otherwise it will be in the
next grib release.

robb...
