[ncl-talk] dim_spi_n saying "fatal:Assignment type mismatch"

[Dennis Shea]

The variable is type "short". It must be unpacked & scaled. Read the *short2flt
*documentation and use::

   f        = *addfile *(....., "r")
   prc    = *short2flt(*
<http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/short2flt.shtml>
f->pre )
   printVarSummary(prc)                          ;
