Hi James,

If you replace your current $GEMTBL/config/miscset.tbl

with 

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Unidata/gempak/07b6f65d8a878b09bfbb1e6f38b4845f39762018/gempak/tables/config/miscset.tbl

NMAP2 should load ATCF without error.  You can also just copy over the 6.10 
miscset.tbl to GEMPAK7.  

I'm going to roll back the miscset.tbl updates until this NMAP2 problem is 
taken care of.   Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I was hoping to get 
somewhere with this and have a true fix for you rather than a rollback.

-Michael
