GDATTIM = 940706/0000f021:940706/0000f024 GLEVEL = 925:850 GVCORD = pres GFUNC = mul(res,3600) GDFILE = mmoutp2.type2b2thermo.gem PROJ = scc GAREA = grid Its a pretty noisy looking field...but I don't see the problem you are having. So, my next question is, was the pl15 built in a clean subdirectory- or was it unpacked in your previous pl6 tree (I figured you wouldn't have done this sonce you had modified some tables for your use that you probably didn't want to get overwritten...but if you did, then its possible that some functions in the libraries were not rebuilt if you didn't completely wipe out $GEMLIB/*).
