Mark,

In the Garp_defaults in the distribution, I have RADDIR defined
as $GEMDATA/nexrad. Now that Tom has an ADDE server that can
read the nids data from the same directory structure, I have just been
filing the data into the $GEMDATA/nexrad tree rather than using the nids
and nowrad link scripts, eg:
WSI     
^NEX/(.*)/(.*)/([1-2][0-9])([0-9][0-9])([0-1][0-9])([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9])
        FILE    data/gempak/nexrad/NIDS/\1/\2/\1-\2_\3\4\5\6_\7\8
WSI     
^(NOW)/USRAD/([1-2][0-9])([0-9][0-9])([0-1][0-9])([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9])
        FILE    data/gempak/nexrad/USRAD/8km/\1/\1_\2\3\4\5_\6\7
WSI     
^(NOW)/MASTER/([1-2][0-9])([0-9][0-9])([0-1][0-9])([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9])
        FILE    data/gempak/nexrad/USRAD/2km/\1/\1_\2\3\4\5_\6\7

I use the prune_nexrad.csh script to scour the nids and nowrad files
rather than maintaining the links, but I posted the all scripts in the 
~gbuddy/nawips-5.4/scripts directory..
