Bill,

OK, so this means that the problem is probably that the workstation
version of GRDIMAGE needs to be updated.  Correct?  Sorry if I seem
obtuse, but I am answering this email during a break in a meeting
at the NSF offices in Washington, D.C.

I seem to remember that the server version is up to addendum level, and
the workstation version was not.  This does not, however, agree with
the contention that the Route PostProcess BATCH invocation is
incorrect.

The different OSes should not be a problem (unless the problem is something
really weird), but the different versions of McIDAS could well be.

Did you look at the examples I put out in my web page?  You can see
from those that the version of GRDIMAGE I am using does produce the
correct display and it does match up with contours of the gridded
parameter.

If the version of GRDIMAGE is wrong, then the user running it will not
matter.  If your account somehow has a much older McIDAS installation's
bin directory in its PATH before the current release, then a test from
a different account would probably show different results.
