20011016: GINI images in nmap

Clint,

nmap2 only looks at datatype.tbl (nmap looks at the other directory).

The problem is that SAT and RAD in datatype.tbl are known by the
code in nmap2, GINI is not. You still have to be under the SAT entry.

Here is a way to have nmap2 use either your GINI or AREA directories
under one $SAT variable without having to use links.

1) Create a new directory, such as $GEMDATA/sat

2) Create symbolic links from $SAT and $GINI to files in the $GEMDATA
   directory called AREA and GINI.

3) Change your $SAT environmental variable to point to $GEMDATA/sat
   (instead of the usual location).

Now when you pull up IMAGES from nmap2, click on SAT and you will have 
your choice of AREA or GINI. The widget menus will continue on with the 
extra level of nesting.

NSAT will work OK with this too.

Garp on the other hand will still use the 3 level directories of
your $GINI and $SATDIR tree as defined in the "sat" key in
Garp_defaults (just set SATDIR to the top or your area tree
and the GINI entries from $(SATDIR)/WEST-CONUS etc. to
$(GINI)/WEST-CONUS.
