[GEMPAK #BPO-815416]: GEMPAK - SIGWX Clear Air Turbulence in a Box vs. on the map

Mark,

The SIGWX tools are done by NCEP in support of requirements of the AWC.

You can browse through the change documents at:

http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/sib/nawips/

The 5.9.4 release notes mention a major restructuring of placement of
features as defined in the $GEMTBL/pgen/settings.tbl and placement.tbl 

Since these are operational tools, I don't have much background in the 
formatting of 
display elements and requirements that have lead to those changes. Perhaps AWC 
would have
someone that can inform you of that product.

> I am using the SIGWX package to display BUFR data.
> My customer has a preference for the older style display of CAT information 
> in a box rather than as a label on the map itself.
> 
> I see that at one time this was the standard approach.  I would like to 
> investigate adapting the older routine for use in the version I am using 
> (5.8.3a).  I couldn\'t find release notes which would tell me when this 
> occurred.  Could you tell me what is the last release which used CAT boxes?
