20010828: GDRADR fails

Tom,

The error messages you are seeing below indeicate that some of the
GEMPAK environmental variables are not correctly configured, or
you have not sourced the Gemenviron file in your script. Remember
that sourcing Gemenviron defines the environmnetal variables
as well as adds the GEMPAK $GEMEXE directory to your current path.

The [IP -10] message indicates that the $GEMPARM and $GEMPDF directories
are not found. The [FL -1] errors indicate that the $GEMTBL/config directory 
is not being found. The most likely cases for both these errors are that the
environmental variables that GEMPAK is referring to are either not set in the
script environment, or you might be pointing to an old GEMPAK tree and not the
current distribution.
