Mary Ellen,

OK.

So, that is not an angle we want to follow.

This is probably due to my using a different compiler (not the error; the
warning about the error).

>Do you still want a copy of the output?

If it doesn't include _any_ warnings, then no.

Unfortunately, yes.  The reason I say this is that _none_ of the library
calls being made from remap2.pgm (at least the ones you listed in your
original email) have _any_ Unidata modifications in them.  Also, the
really _big_ porting concern when going to 64-bit machines like OSF/1
is word length mismatches.

I am a bit late with this, but FYI  Unidata McIDAS 7.8 is also the
flavor and version of the sw we are running on our Linux box.
