[GEMPAK #PKR-554453]: .gem to .nc

Hi Sharon-

The easiest way might be to use the netcdf-Java library if you have Java on 
your system.  The full library is available at:

ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf-java/v4.1/netcdfAll-4.1.jar

Download that and then run:

java -Xmx512m -classpath netcdfAll-4.1.jar;. 
ucar.nc2.iosp.gempak.GempakGridServiceProvider GEM_FILE.gem NETCDF_FILE.nc

where GEM_FILE.gem is the name of the GEMPAK grid file and NETCDF_FILE.nc is 
whatever you want the output called.  This only works for grid files.
