Chris,

I have made ~gbuddy/nawips-5.4/patches/gempak5.4_patch17.tar.Z available.

This patch will update the GEMPAK routines which access the AREA files 
in order to provide the calibrated data values for the color bar in the GEMPAK
programs as well as Garp, as well as have the Garp pointer return the 
interpolated data value for the pixel. The patch also contains several color 
enhancement tables I have put together for these products.

To update your distribution:

download the tarfile to your $NAWIPS directory, then:

cd $GEMPAKHOME/source/gemlib/im
make clean
make all
make clean

cd $GEMPAKHOME/source/programs
make clean
make all
make install
make clean

cd $GARPHOME
make clean
make all
make install
make clean

cd $NAWIPS/nprogs/nsat
make clean
make all
make install
make clean
