Wen, I have a directory in the distribution called $GEMTBL/nmap/mod_res/ where I generate the mod_res.tbl file in the distribution from NCEP's original along with local changes. In that directory, I have a file called mod_res.csh that processes files named in mod_res.list (eg, you can maintain a local file of additions), and in the awk script I use, I substitute NCEP's list of nam models: nam;nam20;nam40;nam44 with nam;nam12;nam20;nam40;nam44;wseta;wrf as an example.I also rename avn to gfs and make some other tweaks. So, you could generate the file with a list of replacements/expansions of names for given products (or ad back the names that you had removed). My plan is to make it easier for me (and users) to maintain changes from the original set of products that NCEP provides.....It is just a work in progress here as I use it to maintain some continuity between releases when merging in new files from NCEP.
