I'm still running gribmaster4.2 (and GEMPAK 5.11.1: works fine -- so
no changing!) and need to update the configuration file from the old 
RUC2 to the new RAP.

The lines in the config file are:

SERVERS=NCEP:/pub/data/nccf/com/ruc/prod/ruc2a.YYMD/ruc2.tCCz.pgrbfFF.grib2
SERVERS=TOC:/SL.us008001/ST.opnl/MT.ruc_CY.CC/RD.YYMD/PT.grid_DF.gr2/fh.00FF_tl.press_gr.us40km

Focusing on the NCEP, I see that the "rap" directory contains a couple 
of file naming possibilities:

ftp> pwd
Remote directory: /pub/data/nccf/com/rap/prod/rap.20120527

ftp> dir rap.t15z.*f00.grib2
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
-rw-r--r--   1 ftp      ftp      23596515 May 27 15:51 rap.t15z.awip32f00.grib2
-rw-r--r--   1 ftp      ftp      30639932 May 27 15:50 
rap.t15z.awp130bgrbf00.grib2
-rw-r--r--   1 ftp      ftp      12221559 May 27 15:49

-rw-r--r--   1 ftp      ftp       1597874 May 27 15:52 rap.t15z.awp200f00.grib2

-rw-r--r--   1 ftp      ftp      45997265 May 27 15:51 rap.t15z.awp242f00.grib2
-rw-r--r--   1 ftp      ftp      16220841 May 27 15:50 
rap.t15z.awp252bgrbf00.grib2
-rw-r--r--   1 ftp      ftp       6903462 May 27 15:49 
rap.t15z.awp252pgrbf00.grib2


It's not obvious what the differences are in the various files. 
Which file(s) should I be using in the configuration file?

Thanks,

David Blanchard
