nvxmerc.dlm 1.12	
The GRD* commands and grib/grid servers were updated to handle true mercator grib files correctly. 
There were also modifications to -XCD to handle these data. Users will notice changes in GRDLIST 
with GPRO. The MERC for projection label is for true Mercator grids; previous MERC is now RECT; 
CONF was changed to LAMB; LAMB was changed to TANC.

If any locally developed programs operate with both grids and satellite images, there could be a 
conflict with the use of GRDDEF, IJLL, etc. (grid navigation) and the NV2EAS, NV2SAE, etc. (image 
navigation). GRDDEF was reworked to use the image navigation routines (NV2EAS, NV2SAE). If your 
code use NV1 or NV3, no changes will be necessary. If your code uses NV2, you should contact the 
MUG Help Desk for specific instructions.
