[GEMPAK #NXO-817736]: EPV Grid Diagnostic

> Description of problem: In the GEMPAK version 5.4 release notes (printed in the GEMPAK user's guide that we have, which is pretty old) it states that EPV (saturated geostrophic equivalent potential vorticity) is available as a new grid diagnostic. However, when running GDDIAG and setting GFUNC=EPV[*anything*], it states that "operator EPV is not recognized". I'm wondering if maybe this EPV diagnostic is no longer available, and if PVOR[THES,GEO] would do the same calculation

Yes.  See this support response from our tracking system:
