Hi Fred, 

Sorry to hear of your difficulties with the COMET Case Studies.

Are there specific cases you have been dealing with, or particular
datasets that are causing your problems?

I am not quite certain of the issues you are experiencing.

I am running GEMPAK 5.6 on solaris x86, and have not witnessed any
difficulties...excluding the textual weather products which were
originally designed to be viewed in Peter Neilly's "Weather" software.

Steve chizwell and myself are working on ways to have them accessible via
garp and the NWX package.

Please let me know what we can do to make your case study experience
less troublesome and hopefully we can make it go more smoothly for you.

Thank you for your comments,

-Jeff
