20010523: plotting model grid outline in GEMPAK

David,

One possible solution is to use the product generation tool from
NMAP/NMAP2, creating a vgf file of the area outline. The vgf file
is navigated, so you can reproject the  boundary onto any other
data set. You can plot the vgf data set in GPMAP or NMAP & NMAP2.
