rucdecode.lst
! List file for RUCDECODE.exe
e:\
! CD/DVD drive name (Back slash is needed on PC)
ruc3d.dat
! Output 3D.DAT file name

210, 222 ! Beg/End I indices (range: 3-299) or longitudes
51, 65 ! Beg/End J indices (range: 4-222) or latitudes

-----------------------------------------------------
Note:
1. Select domain as (I,J) RUC grid range or
longitude from west to east and latitude from south to north
2. Longitude is negative for western hemisphere
Latitude is negative for southern hemisphere
3. Flag for batch/interactive mode:
Set batch flag to 1 if ALL needed files are on one disk specified
on Line 3, and no screen-input is needed. Set the flag to 0 if needed
files are on multiple DVD disks.
4. Scratch files will be created in processing, and should
be deleted manually on some machines. The base part of
scratch file names are the same as that of output file name
except an aditional "s" at the end. The extension of the
scratch files are numbered from 001 to XXX. For example,
if the output file name is test.dat, then the scratch file
names will be tests.001, tests.002.... Delete these files after
program finishes.
