Daryl, I was able to update the code to the title object in Garp where the the color was being set to indicate the data layer was off. From your message below, I see you were using the Linux binary, so I can provide you with an updated garp executable. You can ftp this from the ~gbuddy/nawips-5.6/binary/linux directory as garp_5.6.h_update. Place in your $GEMEXE directory as "garp" and set the executable bits with chmod a+x $GEMEXE/garp The ftp login/download information is: host: ftp.unidata.ucar.edu login: gbuddy password: XXXXXX I'll have to update the distribution tarfiles tomorrow.
