>From: Unidata Support <address@hidden> >Organization: UCAR/Unidata >Keywords: 200503311932.j2VJWvv2017638 McIDAS WWDISP Hi Gilbert, I just copied over 4 new source files to the ~mcidas/mcidas2004/src directory on weather3: m0wwmisc.h wwmisc.c wwdisp.c wwlist.c (first, I saved the old copies in ~mcidas/tmp/mcidas/2004/src). I then built new WWDISP and WWLIST executables using: <as 'mcidas'> cd ~mcidas/mcidas2004/src make rm ~/bin/wwdisp.k ~/bin/wwlist.k ln wwlist.k wwdisp.k ~/bin Please try plotting severe weather watches with the new executables. Here is an example invocation that SSEC and I have verified works: ERASE MAP MID WWDISP X X TYPE=SEVWATCH TORWATCH DAY=109 111 PLOT=COUNTY The PLOT=COUNTY keword sequence will insure that the watches are plotted by county. The default for the display is to plot watch outlines. If you find that the routines now work as you expect, you should copy the above files to your other machines (weather2 and weather) and rebuild the WWDISP and WWLIST executables as I outlines above.
