We recently downloaded the newest version of GEMPAK and GARP onto our
new Linux box.  GEMPAK seems to be working fine.  Most elements of GARP 
are working just fine, but I am having a few hiccups that I cannot seem
to fix.  I have compared the Gemenviron and Garp_defaults files from
our old and new system, and do not see any differences.  Here are the
two most frustrating problems:

1. When I try to plot the NAM using Model Plan Projection, I am allowed
   to select the dates, times and variables that I want.  When I then
   click "Display", GARP crashes.  If I then restart GARP and first
   select GFS (without plotting), then select NAM....I have a different
   set of "general" scalar variables which plot up just fine without
   crashing!  Is there a magic file that I need to check on that tells
   each model which fdf's to use?

2. When I try to plot "surface observational data", GARP crashes
   immediately.  I can go to "NWX" and see the listing of the same
   data just fine!

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks...

peace,
Frank
