20060201: Nsharp resource file



David,

Since I have never sent anything in a distribution for a .apps-defaults file,
chances by having it, you are working around the application using/requiring
$NAWIPS/resource/Nsharp? You should definitely remove the file, since changes
in the distribution would be hidden by your file. You also would not want to
be copying the supplied resource file into your .apps-defaults directory.
The Gemenviron script sets 
XUSERFILESEARCHPATH=/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.9.1/resource/%N.

Now you said that the program crashed without it? You might have to logout
and restart your X session if ithas cached/loaded these as Xdefaults.

Under Darwin, when launching nsharp I see:

Welcome to Darwin!
% nsharp
loading clo tables.....
finished reading tables!
Resource File:  /home/gempak/GEMPAK5.9.1/resource/Nsharp

The tables needed will include those found under $GEMTBL/nwx,
and it does provide for what resource file it is using.
