GEMPAK users,

I have made the Unidata distribution of GEMPAK 5.6.C.1 available
for download in source and binary formats.

New programs included are:
   gdradr: creates gridded composites from NEXRAD products.

   gptraj: plots trajectories from gridded data sets.

   dcsvrl: decodes SLS watch bulletins (see pqact.conf example).

New features:
   dcuair: decodes dropsonde and ship soundings, stores maxwind
           and tropopause groups, stores raw text portions (see pqact.conf 
example).

   extended zoom: CURSOR GAREAX

   latlon: new labeling options
   
   file aliasing extended in additional grid programs

   Added ~250 additional stations to sfmetar_sa.tbl
