Paul,

re: new addendum contains SFCCON (actually PTCON) fix for contouring over
user-specified CONFormal projection maps; need to grab it

Cutting and pasting in X windows is real easy:  highlight text by moving the
mouse with the left button depressed followed by pasting that text
into an editor window (while in input mode) by clicking the middle mouse
button.

Hmm...  I am now wondering if your problems arose right when adde.ucar.edu
was having a crisis (a run away process ate up all memory resulting in
no jobs being runable).

re: recommend switching to use of GINICOMP, GINIEAST, and GINIWEST datasets
instead of RTGINI

papagayo.unl.edu should be just as fast or faster than adde.ucar.edu in
almost all situations.  Yes, it is OK to keep using adde.ucar.edu, but as
ADDE use goes up in the future, we may have to ask users to share access
other servers to even the load.

>Anyway...things are working. If it comes up again, I will let you know.

OK.

Things are going reasonably well, thanks.  Make sure to stop by when
you get into town.
