Matt,

GDPOINT is not a standard Gempak program, however, I did track it down
on the SOO/SAC contrib ftp server. I cleaned up some problems it had
with running on some of our systems here (undefined variables, bad code etc)
and have posted it under the ~gbuddy/nawips-5.4/contrib directory here
as gdpoint.tar.Z.

To build this program, download it to your $NAWIPS directory and
unpack with:
zcat gdpoint.tar.Z | tar xvf -

Then build and install as follows:
cd $NAWIPS/comet/gdpoint
make all
make install
make clean
