Robert,
The fdf entries in the 2.1 file were changed from the 2.02 version
(you'll notice that the default directory is no longer appended to
fdf search path since the software adds that automatically if a 
matching key isn't found). Therefore, you can't simply use the 2.02
file with 2.1. You need to update the keys, proj's,
gareas etc in the 2.1 file- but use the structure of that file
(or make sure your 2.02 config file matches the directory locations
from 2.1).


2.02

< scalarfdf       : $(fdfdir)/scalar/default     # Plan view scalar FDFs
< vectorfdf       : $(fdfdir)/vector/default     # Plan view vector FDFs
< xsscalarfdf     : $(fdfdir)/xsscalar/default   # Cross section scalar FDFs
< xsvectorfdf     : $(fdfdir)/xsvector/default   # Cross section vector FDFs
< thscalarfdf   : $(fdfdir)/xtscalar/default   # Time/height scalar FDFs
< thvectorfdf   : $(fdfdir)/xtvector/default   # Time/height vector FDFs
< vpscalarfdf   : $(fdfdir)/vpscalar/default   # Vertical profile scalar FDFs
< vpvectorfdf   : $(fdfdir)/vpvector/default   # Vertical profile vector FDFs
