You can use snmod to extract the time range from each file into a
new subset file that would cover the period you want to display. 
The same exists for realtime data which is stored in daily files.
If you need a time range that spans multiple files- you have the same problem.

Or, you can define LLMXTM, LLSTFL and MMHDRS in the 
$GEMPAKHOME/include/gemprm.xxx 
and gemprm.h include files to be as large as you need (with the requirement 
that 
LLSTFL + LLMXTM <= MMHDRS) and recompile the package from scratch - with
the understanding that as you increase the array sizes, the amount of memory 
you need
to open, load, and display the data will increase proportionally.

I try to set reasonable limits for defaults so that most universities will be 
able
to use the package on hardware that is typical in the community.
