20000703: areaInfo vs. new pnga2area date format and Garp

Chris,

I have an updated areainfo.tar.Z in ~gbuddy/nawips-5.4/patches
that uses yyyy naming.

You can download this to $NAWIPS and unpack with:
zcat areainfo.tar.Z | tar xvf -

Then build and install with:

cd $NAWIPS/unidata/programs/areainfo
make all
make install
make clean


This will allow you to migrate all of your names to yyyy and
modify the Garp_defaults template accordingly.

These are al changes I've made to the next release.
