HI DeWayne,

I revised the dcredbook documentation and LDM scripts over the weekend.  I 
posted the scripts and instructions to 

https://github.com/Unidata/dcredbook-util

A copy is also hosted on our server at

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/gempak/redbook/

For this to work I created a dcredbook_gif build, the Makefile changes have 
been baselined to https://github.com/Unidata/gempak but have not been 
incorporated to the binary builds yet.  I'll have 7.0.5 out with the changes 
later this week. 

Have a look at the new documentation and revised scripts and let me know if 
there are any unanswered questions or related issues.

Best,

Michael James
