Mark,

The message I sent out yeaterday about fixing the imar2gm.f routine
is what is needed to correctly display the satellite strings. Some
platforms will core dump when trying to display the garbage- while
some systems just display the garbage characters.

Nsat also needs to be updated for the "19" hardcoded in the title bar
if you use that program.
In $NAWIPS/nprogs/nsat/source/file.c, around line 79 should be updated from:

        sprintf(tmpdate, "%s %s 19%s", day, months[m-1], year);

to:

        if(year[0] < '2')
           sprintf(tmpdate, "%s %s 20%s", day, months[m-1], year);
        else
           sprintf(tmpdate, "%s %s 19%s", day, months[m-1], year);
