I believe the GEMPAK pqact(1) configuration-file(s) assume that the working 
directory of the pqact(1) process is the installation (i.e., home) directory of 
the LDM user. If you set the registry parameter "/pqact/datadir-path" to that 
then they should work unaltered.

You should verify this.

Steve Emmerson
