20020913: displaying data in nmap2

David,

Looks like your datatype.tbl entries are off. Column position is important.
Make sure your entries argree with:
!FILE TYPE  |PATH                     |FILE TEMPLATE            
|CATEGORY|SUBCAT  |#FRM|RANGE |INTRVL 
!(12)       |(25)                     |(25)                     |(8)     |(8)   
  |(4) |(6)   |(6)

In particular, your $GEMDATA/surface entry for METAR appears to be in the wrong 
column,
and your CAT_SFC etc appear to be shifted left from the reguired format.

(eventually you'll probably want to bite the bullet and make the files names
Y2K compliant).
