Clint,

I found two type definitions that were erroneous, and were likely causing
trouble.

In $GEMPAK/source/programs/sf/sfcntr:

The routine sfminp.f, should add cntrprm to the list of characetr variables, eg:
     +                  cint, cntrprm       <<--- line 37, add cntrprm


In the routine sfcntr.f, the call to OAGAGN, change FALSE to .false., eg:
                       CALL OAGAGN(gltln,' ',deltax,deltay,.false.,  <<-- line 
432


I'll be making a 5.6a release in a day or two...so I'll wait to repack the
binary distribution until that time. I can send you an updated sfcntr binary
for just that program if you like.
