Pete,

The MSLP with eta reduction is in the $GARPHOME/fdf/scalar/eta211/HAS.
You may have to change the model keys in the Garp_defaults to match your
file naming however. Here, I have 2000010412_eta211.gem,
so my model keys that I sent out in the Garp_defaults have
eta211, and that is the directory that is being looked for in the fdf/scalar 
tree.

In the previous distribution, I may have had eta_211 or something, so check
how your $HDS directory files are named and change Garp_defaults accordingly.

If you don't see changes in your Garp_defaults that you make, you might need
to check to see if your GARPHOME environmental variable is pointing
to the correct directory (and not the previous distribution).
