Hi Shawn,

Hmm...  This is the first report we have had of a problem like this.

I would try a reboot.  The fact that the older version of GEMPAK failed in the
same way that the new one does seems to indicate that the problem is 
system-related,
not GEMPAK based.

> Thanks very much,

Please let us know if a reboot fixes the problem you are experiencing.

Cheers,

Tom
