20001019: 20001019: Can gempak merge radar (satellite) image into the usual plot?

As I stated below:
>> Set PROJ=rad to overlay on radar data, or PROJ=sat to
>> overlay on satellite data in any of the GEMPAK mapping programs.
                                ^^^
                                 |
Any of the programs such as SFMAP, GDMAP, SNMAP, GDCNTR, GDPLOT, GDWIND,
GDSTREAM, GPMAP etc support the use of RADFIL and SATFIL. Those programs
which list RADFIL of SATFIL in the parameter display will accept those.
