Donna,

Just wanted to let you know that the 5.9.2 release does include the 
modifications I made for
CINS.

I have used entries similar to:

GLEVEL = 0
GVCORD = NONE
GDPFUN = cins(pres,hght,tmpc@30:0%pdly,dwpc@30:0%pdly)
GDPFUN = cins(pres,hght,tmpc@2%hght,dwpc@2%hght)

Finding a good lifting level for HGHT and PRES is more difficult if you are 
using
the boundary layer values to TMKK and RELH for 255:0. To lift from the top of
the mixed layer, I've used dz = ( R Tbar / g ) * dlnP 
using the pressures of the PDLY levels.

I intend to put together some example son the web site- but have to leave town 
suddenly.
It may be end of next week for those to get onto the web.
