Tom, Thanks. Yes. When I wrote the original routines for 5.6.A I then sent them on to NCEP and they subsequently included them in the later releases without the "5" requirement. So I didn't have to do any further modifications here for the current release. At the time, I was pretty stringing ton the SDUS5x becase we were gettin both encrypted and unencrypted data. All you should have to so after making the modification is rebuild the im library. Then relink everything. cd $GEMPAK/source/gemlib/im make clean make all make clean cd $GEMPAK/source/programs make clean make all make install make clean cd $NAWIPS/comet/garp make clean make all make install make clean cd $NAWIPS/nprogs make clean make all make install make clean That is the quick fix. Of course, I would suggest eventually upgrading to the latest release since there are other bug fixes included even if you don't need the newest developemnt features.
