Steve, Well, that will likely help - thanks! We do have that compiler but when I try to "make" in the dc directory I got the following: SPARCompiler C: cannot find license file (/export/home1/SUNWspro/SunTech_License /license.dat) Compiler has not been installed properly (neither SC_LICENSE_FILE in the compiler install directory nor the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable point to a valid license-file) cc: acomp failed for dcgbul.c *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `/d1-apps/gempak/NAWIPS-5.4/lib/sol /bridge.a(dcgbul.o)' I would assume this is a problem on our end of not having the proper licensing. I know our computer programmer has been doing some work with that so I'll take this part up with him. Thanks for all the help! Hopefully I will be able to get this fixed before the true severe weather season starts! :) Thanks again!
