[GEMPAK #AJO-748565]: GEMPAK - Possible problem with 5.10 decoder

Steve,

Yes, when the program starts up the first time, you see what is the default
settings from gemglb.nts, so your "display" or "list" command after changing 
the settings 
is needed to see what you have.

First, I see that you have an error from your "tail" command. Linux has GNU's 
tail
command which you need to use "tail -n +8" rather than "tail +8". The Gnu tail 
man
page gives that option, so that is one big difference from your Solaris
environment, and from your gensfc script you sent, would mean that
yesterday's file isn't getting catted out to the file that you
processed with "gemfmt". Apparently GNU changed the usage of the command a few
revs back.

I took your gensfc script and set the date to be 2Z today, and removed where 
you had hardcoded
set HOUR=0. I ran this on our Linux FC7 machine and got the 22Z yesterday 
through 2Z today times.

Give that a whirl and see what you find.
