[GEMPAK #GFW-230601]: unable to plot satellite data which is in h5 format

Hello there,

I'm sorry to say GEMPAK can not handle the .h5 files natively.  What data 
source are these files from? Are these NPP/VIIRS files?   As far as I know only 
McIDAS-V has support for them.  Let me know and perhaps point me where I can 
find an example file and I'll see where I can get for you.
