[ferret_users] bug with Ferret v6 ?

[Jerome King <jejeking@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am having an issue with using LAS with Ferret v6. I am not having this 
problem using LAS with Ferret 5.81. Both LAS are exactly the same (6.5.1), 
same xml files, same query.
So I am thinking it's a bug with Ferret v6 but I am not sure.

The issue happens after LAS creates a NetCDF file with the insitu package 
and asks Ferret to make a plot.
There seems to be an issue with Ferret reading "trange".
I have attached the NetCDF file created by LAS. and I have copied below the 
debug ferret part for both Ferret version.
I hope this helps find out what the issue is.
Hope this helps,
Jerome.

With Ferret 5.81, I get a nice plot:
