Robert,

I'll bet that you were pointing at psnldm.  But, you never know ;-)

OK.  I just wanted to make sure.

The login information gave me the clue that I needed.  The problem
comes, once again, back to me (sigh!).  You had previously asked me if
you could do the "install the entire addendum" without doing anything
in the addendum update pieces, and I said yes.  Well, I was wrong!!!
The one step that you had to do that was detailed in the pieces was:

touch Mcmkmcgrid.c

Since the last crutial step was left out, Mcmkmcgrid.c was never
recompiled, and it needs to be since it includes grid.h, and grid.h was
updated.

I did the following on psnldm:

cd ~/workdata
decinfo.k SET DMGRID INACTIVE
<waited until DMGRID exited>

cd ~mcidas/mcidas7.6/src
touch Mcmkmcgrid.c
make xcd
rm ~mcidas/bin/dmgrid.k
ln dmgrid.k ~mcidas/bin

  (Actually, on systems using native compilers, the result of a remake
  should leave the link between the new executable and the one installed
  in ~mcidas/bin in tact.  Checking this with an:
  
  ls -lt dmgrid.k ~mcidas/bin/dmgrid.k
  
  is _always_ a good idea.  I include instructions for deleting the copy
  of an executable in the ~mcidas/bin directory and then recreating the
  link from the new copy in ~mcidas/mcidas7.6/src to ~mcidas/bin for
  those sites using gcc/f2c/mcfc.  For them the delete and relink is a must).

cd ~/workdata
decinfo.k SET DMGRID ACTIVE

So, a new version of DMGRID is now running on psnldm, and I am betting
that your 0 and 12 Z AVN runs will be complete tomorrow.

By the way, it appears that the copy of RTMODELS.CFG that you were using
was very different from the one that is being used now.  This would
account for the strange intermixing of AVN and ETA GRID files in the
5600 range.  Did the addenda wipe out your RTMODELS.CFG?

  ---END OF LISTING

I think that it is odd that there are grids labled as AVN in the
name space that is to be used for ETAs, but an unintended change in
RTMODELS.CFG would explain things.

Sorry for leaving out the crutial step of touching Mcmkmcgrid.c!
