I found the cause of the bug and fixed it. I then quickly added the fix to the McIDAS addendum that I have been working on for the past several days. The problem was in the program SNDHODO (HODO runs SNDHODO): the program was saving zero values into the User Common locations used to store graphic line information (dash pattern lengths, line widths, etc.). The writing of zero values to these locations only occurred when SNDHODO processed a sounding that hand no (or too little) wind information. In this case, the program was writing values from internal variables that had not yet been initialized with valid values from User Common. The change was a simple addition of logic to see whether or not UC values had been saved upon program startup. If they had, then they are restored on exit. If they hadn't, there is no reason to restore them, so the code doing this is skipped. I just announced the availability of the latest McIDAS addendum that contains the fix for SNDHODO. Please let me know if you have any questions. Tom
