Hi Patrick,

How are you storing the data?

Are you using a different dir tree than the real-time data?

If so you may want to use a script that launches GARP (NTL) to read from
the case study directory.

I have attached a copy of ntl.case for your use...

Let me know if this helps or if we can help further.

Cheers,


Jeff
