20041208: Updating pqact.conf after installing GEMPAK5.7.4

Nancy,

I have installed the GEMPAK5.7.4 pqact decoder and nwx entries on
mothra, and updated ~gempak/GEMPAK5.7.4/Gemenviron configuration
accordingly. The GEMDATA variable in Gemenviron is set to /var/data/ldm/gempak.
Your $RAD directory was the only other I had to change to match your current 
configuration as /var/data/ldm/radar.

I commented out the decoding of models which you hadn't been receiving
in the past- due to space concerns- but these can be added as your
needs arise.

I can configure gojira's Gemenviron if necessary. Generally just the GEMDATA
and RAD should have to be changed there.

I see you have files from a 20031111 case in the realtime directory,
so I'm assuming you aren't using the "ldmadmin scour" so as not to
remove data sets like this. However:
Your LDM crontab scouring of the $GEMDATA/nwx directory
has been broken since you updated the NWX actions for the 
NWS CID change back in november. I can fix this if you would like.
Also, the change of the $GEMDATA/model directory to file data
by model (eg $MODEL/eta, $MODEL/ruc, etc) will break that script you have.

One problem your users were probably having with GARP cross sections etc
was that your old 5.6.A distribution was using an old version of dcgrib which
can't handle some of the newer WMO GRIB coordinates that have been added
to the data stream since 5.6.A. Your actions now use the current dcgrib2 decoder
for model decoding, so starting with the 18Z run, we may have a better
test case of data to look at Garp trouble you have seen.

When trying to launch NMAP2 on mothra, I received a "non enough memory"
error. When running Garp, I ran out of memory while loading a loop.
However, your users don't use mothra for running the GEMPAK guis, correct?
If the users troubles you have mentioned are on gojira, then
I will have to access that machine to see what things look like there.
