Harry,

To display the zlib compressed nids images, you must be running 5.6.a, and,
if you downloaded the distribution before I found the bug at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/gempak/4091

Then you probably need to change tye "char *" type to "unsigned char *",
recompile the im library routine and relink all guis and programs.

I updated the tarfile distribution when I found that change.

No change in tables is necessary since the NEXRAD product info is within
the data itself. The 5.6.A update allowed GEMPAK to accept NIDS products
with WMO headers where previously, the WSI products did not have
WMO distribution headers.
