Re: 20020818: sfgram problem

Dear Steve,

I am running NAWIPS-5.6.F on a SUN Ultra10 workstation (Unix). I
verified the problem again using the example you provide below. Yes, it
must be version specific since I do not have this problem using my old
NAWIPS-5.6.A.

Thanks again for your help.

Brian
