Chuck,
The biggest array I had to increase for GEMPAK 5.6 was the maximum grid size
for the 10km grid 218 which is 375,000+ grid points. You can compile
GEMPAK with a smaller maximum grid size, such as 100,000 if you don't want
to look at those hydrology grids.

To do this, edit $GEMPAK/include/gemprm.h and $GEMPAK/include/MCHPRM.${NA_OS}
and change the declaration for LLMXGD in each file.

Then rebuild the complete GEMPAK distribution with:
cd $NAWIPS
make distclean
make all
make install

Let me know if this is helps out your size problems, or if we need to 
look elsewhere.
