The same proceedure can be used for nex2gini to generate a image rather
than a grid for the radar composite. See the phelp on nex2gini. There is
an example in the phelp with proj, garea , kxky all set for a national 
composite.

Yes, the list still works. Your message was dissiminated to the list members.
