Gregg, I placed a tarfile at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/contrib/acars.tar.Z This has the source for dcacars, nsharp and acarsprof. To build dcacars you will need the NetCDF library. I have included in the dcacars directory a sample acars file for the make test. I have built and tested on all of our different operating systems here which include HPUX 11.0, Solaris 2.7, IRIX 6.5.3, AIX 4.3, Linux 5.2, Solaris X86 2.7, and OSF/1 4.2. If you prefer, I can try to create a binary package of the three programs if you let me know what OS you will be running on.
