Hi Peter.

That worked a treat, thanks. The other question I had is can I view
the quality in gaia? NDFTRACE shows that the fie has data,quality &
variance components, but gaia's 'Select NDF in container file' has
both 'hasvar' and 'hasqual' as false, and only the data button is not
greyed out when the file is selected.

Cheers
Dave
