Michael,

When you unpack the binary tarfile, it will create a new 5.7.1 subdirectory.

I traditionally unpack the files in ~gempak, and maintain a symbolic link 
of NAWIPS in that directory to the current distribution I want to run.

You will still have to merge in any changes you made to tables 
within the new distribution, but by maintaining a separate tree, you
can do that while keeping your current version running.

For more information about the setup I described above, see:
