[McIDAS #WUE-272422]: GOES 12 or 13

Hi Gustavo,

re:
> Yesterday, monday, here it was a no working day.. I answer today!.

No worries.  Thursday of this week is a big holiday in the U.S., and
it is likely that most of Unidata staff will be taking at least part
of the day Wednesday, all of Thursday and Friday off, so answers to
questions may slow down...

re:
> Thank you a lot because of your and Michael’s work with Gempak.

No worries.  Michael has gotten building GEMPAK down to a few
easy steps.  He did the build in about an hour.

Hmm... this looks like a problem related to shared memory or message
queues.

I will try to logon to your system sometime this afternoon and take a closer
look.

The pattern-action file action (like the ones you list above) determine which
image will be acted on by the script.  The question now is if there is anything
else wrong in the processing setup.  I can assure you that LOTS of people are
using the current GEMPAK release (6.2.0) with the images in the UNIWISC 
datastream.
This says that there is no inherent problem with the GEMPAK code for the
images you are trying to work with.  Again, I will take a closer look later
today.

Cheers,

Tom
