A question about processing HDF-eos when using ncl-6.2.0

 Dear all:
                  I just came across a different result when I use ncl-6.2.0 processing the HDF-eos file from CloudSat, before I was using 6.1.0.

        This particular variable is layer_optical_depth from 2b-tau as documented http://www.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/dataSpecs.php?prodid=2.

        I used to use:

        var = short2flt(eos_file->layer_optical_depth_2B_TAU)/100 to retreive the "actual" value in float from this file due to a factor of 100.
      
        However, in this new version, I found I need to "xxxxx/10000" to retreive the "actual" value in float.

        I'm not sure what happen during this process, any comment is appreciated.

Regards

Cheung
