This will fix a bug in the titles when reading the 3 digit years in the IDD areafiles (GEMPAK expecte 2 or 4 digits). I announced the availability yesterday afternoon- so you might not have gotten to it yet. Also, for the gprcm, you can enter at the end of the $GEMTBL/grid/grdnav.tbl file: RCM 906 STR 90 -105 0 23.090 -119.036 45.619 -60.000 113 89 3.75 0
