I also said: "In my opinion, this has been an excellent discussion."I sincerely apologize if you have taken this personally.
The intent of my post was to stir some interest in a common AWIPS2 forum where users like us could have these types of discussions. In no way was this post directed at anyone in particular. I again sincerely apologize! -Mike-

Well, I am not starting rumors. How could I start a rumor about something I never heard of? As I stated in my first post I read about AWIPS2 on the Unidata website, and quoted the passage: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/newsletter/2008jan/index.html Article written by Don Murray who just posted: "At the recent Fall Users Committee meeting, two items were discussed that brought the need for this capability to the forefront. First, many Unidata sites have been archiving case studies in GEMPAK format. As new member Bill Gallus from Iowa State stated, accessing these data in the IDV would be a boon to IDV use in the community. There is the belief that some scientists are not using IDV because of the lack of support for the GEMPAK file format in which they store their data. The second pressing issue is the impending transition of NAWIPS/GEMPAK to AWIPS2 in the next 3-5 years. At this point, it is unknown how that will impact Unidata's GEMPAK users, but the committee thought that having IDV support GEMPAK data files would be a way for GEMPAK users to transition to the IDV if they wanted."
