Pat,

I am just touching base to let you know that we did receive your email
concerning problems you were having displaying satellite imagery are
continuing to have displaying profiler data in GARP.

Since the problem is related to GEMPAK/GARP and not ldm-mcidas
decoding, Steve Chiswell will be taking over the support.
Unfortunately, Steve is incredibly busy right now preparing for a
meeting being held here at the UPC next week.

I believe that Chiz will first ask you some questions about your GEMPAK
setup.  I would also anticipate a question as to whether or not the
problems you have displaying profiler winds are new, or if the display
has ever worked -- it sounds as though it was working and now doesn't.
