20030702: problems installing Gempak



Dusty,

The individual GEMPAK programs accomplish different tasks.
The ones you will use depend on the type of data (eg surface,
upperair, grid, image) and how you will analyze the data. 
Please see the GEMPAK tutorial:

>Let me inform you of my problem.  I have some data that I need to
>observe on disc in Gempak form.  What do I need to do to get the Gempack
>installed on my computer so that I can see what is on the disc and
>actually use the information. I am using  a Linux operating system and
>Gempak 5.6.  Do I need all 75 of those programs installed on my computer
>to be able to see what is on those discs.  I can see the program in
>Linux when I type ls to see the working directory.  I just have know
>idea what to do from there.  Thank you for all your help.
