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 Steve Chiswell
