Mike,

I downloaded the file you mention below. 

In order to configure your $GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl entry
of ATCF to properly locate the file, you should use the template
a*YYYY.dat
where the "*" above will match the "ep98" portion ofthe file.

You will need to set the file data directly appropriately for
where you will store the data on your host.
