This patch will update the GEMPAK routines which access the AREA files in order to provide the calibrated data values for the color bar in the GEMPAK programs as well as Garp, as well as have the Garp pointer return the interpolated data value for the pixel. The patch also contains several color enhancement tables I have put together for these products. To update your distribution: download the tarfile to your $NAWIPS directory, then: cd $GEMPAKHOME/source/gemlib/im make clean make all make clean cd $GEMPAKHOME/source/programs make clean make all make install make clean cd $GARPHOME make clean make all make install make clean cd $NAWIPS/nprogs/nsat make clean make all make install make clean Steve Chiswell
