[ncl-talk] read_colormap_file suggestion

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi Alan,

That's a good suggestion, and I'll make sure it gets into 6.3.1.

FWIW, I don't know of any formal spec for these file; the current version
of read_colormap_file() was written to accommodate all the variations we
had at the time.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Rick
