Ray,
The gfs 211 and 212 grids are aliased in datatype.tbl
as GFS211 and GFS212.
As an example:
GEMPAK-GDINFO>l
GDFILE = GFS211
LSTALL = yes
OUTPUT = t
GDATTIM = all
GLEVEL = all
GVCORD = all
GFUNC = all
>r
GRID FILE: /data/ldm/gempak/model/gfs/2007090606_gfs211.gem
GRID NAVIGATION:

GRID SIZE: 93 65

<etc>
The GFS alias in datatype.tbl I have defaulted to the global grid #003
which is available in CONDUIT, but since you don't have #003 files below, you
won't
see any output for those. There is no gfs01 template that I provide.
BTW,
I built 5.10.3 under FC4 here using G77 and the required
motif libraries and dependencies. See note on using g77
as a compiler instead of gfortran as you probably have an old
4.0.2 gfortran on your old fc4 distribution.
