Hi,

I apologize for our silence on your request.

We are trying to get help with your problem from one of the GEMPAK community
experts that have graciously agreed to help us out with GEMPAK support.  In
the meantime, I would send a note to the address@hidden email list
to see if any of the GEMPAK users in the Unidata community has a solution to
the problem you describe above.



Cheers,

Tom
