As Steve Chiswell noted in his message to you on December 12, Unidata does not have the resources to support individual users as noted in the participation policy when you registered to download the software. We'll try to help you as time permits, but at the present Steve has left and we are without a full time GEMPAK support person so it may take some time to get a response. That said, please provide us with the following information: - what operating system are you using? - what version of GEMPAK did you download (please include the file name). > I do make better at this if u could please call me at 402-547-0165 please > thanks so much for ur help. As Ginger explained, we try to do our support via e-mail so we can have a record of the conversation in case others need to look into the issue later. We have no facility for recording the phone converstations. You could also join the gembud mailing list and get help from other GEMPAK users. You can subscribe to that mailing list from the link on the GEMPAK homepage: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/gempak/ Don Murray Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: OQO-988563 Department: Support GEMPAK Priority: Normal Status: Open
