Specifically, our partner in Romania is interested in NMAP executables. I was on the GAMPAK website but didn't find NMAP in the list of Chapter 4: Programs. Can you a) give me some details on using NMAP for QPF grid editing, and b) tell me if/ where it's downloadable.

Im with NWS International Activities in Silver Spring. We are collaborating with Romania to transfer NWSRFS technology under a project called DESWAT (Destructive Water Abatement and Control of Water Disasters). In Oct. and Nov. 05, we hosted a trainingvisit by a 5-person Romanian team to NWS HQ, NCEP, and various NWS facilities including the Kansas City Training Center, NCRFC, and CBRFC. They found this visit to be very useful.After returning to Romania, the team expressed interest in getting the NMAP code to use with NWSRFS that will be installed and configured in Romania by contractors, Baron Advanced Meteorological Services.I'm writing to ask you about getting hold of NMAP code. If this message shouldn't be directed to you, please forward it to the right folks.Thanks very much.
