Al,

You must configure the Gemenviron file (for csh environment) or 
Gemenviron.profile (for bash, ksh, sh)
and define the NAWIPS location, and then you must source the environmental 
variables into your shell
environment (typically through "source $NAWIPS/Gemenviron" for csh or ". 
$NAWIPS/Gemenviron.profile"
for bash/ksh/sh). That will define GEMTBL and all the Gempak environmental 
variables in order
to run Gempak programs.
