19991004: Gempak problem - no map backgrounds



Greg,

In addition to $MAPFIL, you also have: 
[IP -7]  AREA is an unrecognized parameter

Your $GEMPAKHOME directory has the pdf and parm subdirectories
which must be readable, and after sourcing your Gemenviron, the
$GEMPDF variable must be pointing you the proper location.
Check the gdplot.pdf file and make sure it isn't corrupted.
Also check to make sure your GEMMAPS directory is readable and has the
hipowo.gsf file in it.

Does the gdplot work ok when run interactively?
Check to make sure you don't inadvertantly have something strange in
your work directory, and make sure the gemglb.nts and last.nts files
in that directory are writable and aren't corrupted.
