Tom,

>Tom....OK, great!  Now that implies that on Jan 1....those gem files will be
>stored with a 00 as the first two digits

I believe so.

>...and when we run gempak to make the maps,
>gempak software will loo for 00122300_eta.gem.

Again, I believe so.

>In unix...are the 00 valid characters to start a file name

Yes.  You can see this for yourself by running the following:

touch 00122300_eta.gem
ls 00122300_eta.gem

>....or is the initial 00 dropped off leaving 122300.gem?

>That's my concern. I guess I could try to save a file
>with that naming convention to see what happens./ktp

That would be a pretty quick test.
