[GRASS-user] Re: Import GRIB files to GRASS

[António Rocha]

Hi all

Well, since I'm only evaluating (for now) how to import GRIB's into 
GRASS, I wanted to test the r.region solution.
Can anyone describe me what to do regarding that suggestion?

Hamish, about the patch, I'm using GDAL1.7 so I cannot apply your patch. 
I'm going to reply on this in GDAL bug tracker.

Thanks
