Dan,

I thought that this problem might be a DEC OSF/1 problem, but I was
wrong. This problem was not related to DEC at all. It was a simple
coding oversight.
Here is the one line fix:
<as 'mcidas'>
cd mcidas7.8/src
edit mcalrtgf.for and change:
if (flags(i) .eq. -1)then
to:
! <<<<< UPC mod 20020316 - add check for SCRATCH= catch all >>>>>
if (flags(i) .eq. -1 .or. models(i)(1:3) .eq. "SCR" )then
After making the change, rebuild nmcamt.k (the executable for NMCAMT):
make nmcamt.k
Verify that the executable in the ~mcidas/bin directory is the same as
the one you just made:
ls -alt nmcamt.k ~/bin/nmcamt.k
If it is not, remove the one in ~/bin and link the one in the mcidas7.8/src
directory to it:
rm ~/bin/nmcamt.k
ln nmcamt.k ~/bin

By the way, after thinking about the NMCAMT problem, I decided that the
code fix I sent you is not the correct one even though it works. The
real problem is in the C routine that mcalrtgf.for calls. It is not
correctly dealing with the SCRATCH= line in the RTMODELS.CFG file used
by the XCD GRID decoder. I will have another look at the C routine
tomorrow and see if I can figure out a clean way to do the job that was
intended.
