19991021: !Specify gempak5.4/tables/* in pqact.conf?

Neil,
the -g flag passes the GEMTBL directory location to dcgrib
since its not generally set as an environmental variable in the
LDM users profile.

It should point to $NAWIPS/gempak5.4/tables/
All of the gempak programs know to look in grid, stns, colors, luts
etc under that directory as needed.

You do need to correct that entry in your pqact.conf.

The other possible reason for a mismatch of grids is that the IDD
data stream HDS carries these models on several different grid 
projections, and each grid projection needs to be written to a different file.
You can either use a separate pqact.conf entry for each grid projection,
or use the @@@ template in the file name as shown in the pqact.conf examples
on the gempak www page. The @@@ characters will be replaces by dcgrid with 
the projection of each grid received.
