Hi Kate,

re:

Correct, GEMPAK runs under *nix (Unix, Linux) systems.

re:
> Has it been updated to also work with Vista?

No, but it has been successfully run in a Linux VMware virtual machine
under Windows XP.  We would guess that it should also run in a Linux
VMware virtual machine under Vista, but we have no direct experience
with that environment.

Cheers,

Tom
