        Jon,
         
        We do have 5.6j on the cluster.
         
        The problem is a GEMPAK error flag (which causes the program to stop 
without writing any converted data).
         
        [FL -4]  Cannot read file ../hipowo.gsf.

        John,
         
        See Steve's email below to provide more information on the problem.  I 
think we have version 5.6j installed on the cluster.

                Jon,
                
                What version of GEMPAK are you using to obtain the 
$GEMMAPS/programs/
                ssftogsf. and gsftossf.f programs. Can you give me more 
information
                than "does not work"? Does the program run to completion and
                yet the information appears garbles on output, or doe sthe 
program
                core dump, etc.
