20000131: GARP update

Tony,

You will need to define your data file locations for GEMPAK in your
$NAWIPS/Gemenviron file.

Make sure the following locations are correctly defined for your site:

NAWIPS          top of gempak tree
GEMDATA         top of gempak data tree
SAT             for sat data
HRS             for model data
TEXT_DATA       for nwx

You also need to set the data file locations for nsharp in 
$NAWIPS/resource/Nsharp
for: Nsharp*obssndg_sel.pattern, Nsharp*acarsndg_sel.pattern, 
Nsharp*pfcsndg_sel.pattern,
Nsharp*mdlsharp_sel.pattern and Nsharp*sharp_sel.pattern. All of those paths 
are defined 
for our system here as the tarfile is made.

>Hi,

>The upgrade of GARP didn't go well, so I need some help.  Here are the

>
>1.  The list of available dates and times in the GARP satellite menu are
>wrong, however when one of these incorrect times is selected, an image
>from the last 10 hours is displayed.
>
>2.  Profiler, model and lightning options are not working.
>
>3.  Surface, upper air, NIDS options are working correctly.
>
>4.  When the Garp icon is selected, the windows open normally, but the
>following message is written to the console:

>!!!!!Whoa!!!!!! Free() got a 0x0

>5.  When using my primary host (cirrus.al.noaa.gov) a large core file is
>written within a minute after restarting the ldm.  When I switch to my
>backup (nimbus.atmo.arizona.edu) I don't have the same problem.  So I'm

>6.  NWX doesn't work.
>
>7.  McIDAS runs fine except it can't see any profiler data.

>I'll bet a lot of these problems are inter-related and have to do
