7/3/98        Linux Port

   The linux port requires g77.  To be somewhat compatible with other unix
machines, f77 must invoke g77.

   As of July 3, 1998, only grbindex and copygb have been ported.

   The following line fails with a segmentation fault,

         $ copygb -g 4 -x test.grb out.grb

The problem is that program runs out of stack space (0.5 x 0.5 degree
grids are pretty big).  Unfortunately the only way to increase the stack
space is to either run as root or to recompile the kernel.

9/17/98     Alpha Port

   The alpha port requires a newer version of Digital Fortran (v5.0+).
The stack size problem is also present.  However, you can change the
stack size without being root.

PROGRAM status:

   Use this version at your own risk.  Sure I (WNE) would like to
hear about any bugs but the program is "AS-IS".
