20010921: 20010919: gpmap radar trouble

Geff,

I have posted a patch for the $GEMPAK/source/gemlib/im/imar2gm.f
routine on the GEMPAK portal site. The patch is also in the
old gbuddy ftp directory area under the nawips-5.6/patches directory
as imar2gm.f_5.6.e.1.

This patch fixes the display of the MDR AREA files from the
unidata/Wisconsin (aka MCIDAS) data feed.

To update your distribution, you can download the patched routine
to your  $GEMPAK/source/gemlib/im directory. The rebuild
with:

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/nprogs
make clean
make all
make install
make clean

cd $GARPHOME
make all
make install
make clean

The MDR images re relatively coarse, so the RCM products
or the GDRADR compilations will provide a better picture-
however, the display of the MDR products will now be fixed in
the distribution of 5.6.f.

Thanks again for pointing out the problem,

Steve Chiswell
