20001023: radar problems in nmap/garp - gempak5.6

Bryan,

For the GUIs to read the time from the file name, you should use a file name 
like:

$RAD/NIDS/MTX/VEL1/VEL1_20001023_1525

In particular, for NMAP, the directory name (eg VEL1 must match the
first part of the filename, eg VEL1_20001023_1525).

Gpmap of course doesn't look at the file name at all.

pqact.conf exaples are available at:
