Let me second this motion for any information regarding this program.

FWIW, I currently use SNCROSS in Gempak to produce cross-sections with
just the wind barbs plotted on 11x17 paper. I have my students plot the data
on the verticals by hand. It's tedious and I'd much rather have them spend the
time analyzing the data.
