How to read GRIB files without explicit file format extension

Hi,

Does anyone know how to read GRIB files without explicitly specifying
their file format extension, i.e. *.grb?

It seems that "addfile" needs 'file' with extension, e.g., 'file.grb'.
Could use 'ln -s file file.grb' before using "addfile", but are there
better/easier ways?

Thanks.
