Gempak Users, I have completed the repackaging of the complete pl16 distribution tarfile, as well as the X86 and Linux binaries. All of these include, in addition to the 2 TI library updates announced this morning, an update to gbgpds.c (which I have also made available in the ~gbuddy/nawips-5.4/patches directory as an individual file). The gbgpds routine is only used by NAGRIB- not dcgrib which uses the Unidata gribtonc source for unpacking the grib bulletins. If you have already updated you TI library... to update your current version of nagrib, download the gbgpds.c file into your $GEMPAKHOME/source/gemlib/gb directory, then: cd $GEMPAKHOME/source/gemlib/gb make clean make all make clean cd $GEMPAKHOME/source/programs/na/nagrib make clean make all make install make clean Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support
