20030703: 20030702: problems installing Gempak

Dusty,

The sample hurricane Bob data sets are found under the $NAWIPS/gempak/data
directory. 

By default, the GEMDATA environmental variable is set in the Gemenviron script
to a real-time data directory, so you won't see the Bob data unless you
set GEMDATA to point to the appropriate tree location. For example:

(you must be working in a directory you have write permission to,
and I'm assuming you have already run the command "source Gemenviron"
so that all the GEMPAK environmental variables are defined for your csh)
)
% setenv GEMDATA $GEMPAK/data
% snlist
 SNFILE   = $GEMDATA/HRCBOB.SND
 AREA     = @NM
 DATTIM   = LAST
 SNPARM   = pres;hght;tmpc;dwpc;sped;drct
 STNDEX   =  
 LEVELS   = all
 VCOORD   = PRES
 OUTPUT   = T
 MRGDAT   = YES
 GEMPAK-SNLIST>r

 SNPARM = PRES;HGHT;TMPC;DWPC;SPED;DRCT                                         

 STID = ABQ           STNM =    72365   TIME = 910820/1200         
 SLAT =  35.05     SLON =  -106.61   SELV =  1619.0
