[ncl-talk] KML Questions

[David Brown]

Hi Rick,
I corresponded with Scott and he sent me some test scripts and data. I
now realize that I forgot to include ncl-talk in my conversation. I
have not had a chance to look at this issue yet, but I hope to soon.
However, if you would like to, since I know you have done some work
with KML, I would be happy to give you what I have. If there is an NCL
issue here it would be good to get to the bottom of it.
