GEMPAK users,

The Unidata web portal now has patches for cross section plotting
in Garp under GEMPAK 5.6.J. The complete source code tarfile as well
as the binary tarfiles for Linux, Solaris Sparc and Solaris X86
now contain the updated Garp code.

If you have previously downloaded GEMPAK 5.6.J, you can update your
distribution by downloading just the required file from the
GEMPAK patches area of the portal:
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewsdownload&sid=10

To update your source code distribution, download the pxsec.f routine
and replace the existing routine in $GARPHOME/gempak. Then rebuild
Garp with:

cd $GARPHOME
make clean
make all install
make clean

To update your binary distribution, download the appropriate Garp executable
from the patches area and copy to $GEMEXE/garp. If necessary, set the executable
permissions with: chmod 755 $GEMEXE/garp

Additionally, the GEMPAK 5.6.J tarfiles now contain a $GEMTBL/sat/ingtyp.tbl
entry for the 13.3 um GOES-12 GINI format products on NOAAPORT (only necessary
if you are obtaining and displaying the NOAAPORT GINI products). You can update
your current version of $GEMTBL/sat/ingtyp.tbl without downloading an new
distribution by adding the line:
GOES12               IR6           0    255     78     32      1 GRAY
