    Hi Marston,<br>
    <br>
    as I'm also working in the CDO consultancy here in Hamburg, I would
    like to have a closer look at your IFS file, too, to see if the CDO
    version 1.8.2 could handle it.<br>
    <br>
    If the file is not too large you can attach it to an 'offline' email
    to me or upload it creating a new request on
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/cdo/boards/1">https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/cdo/boards/1</a> .<br>
    <br>
    Thanks in advance,<br>
    Karin<br>
