Hi Ben,

I think the problem is this:

If the zoom in/out buttons are clicked quickly giving DAWS no time to draw in state borders, coastlines, etc. on a certain map, it will keep trying to draw those on the next map. It's very annoying!

Hi Carl, I've used the same version of Bufkit that you downloaded a number of times. I found that in order to get BUFGET to function properly, you have to install what's called "TCL/TK," a programming language, on your computer. There's a link to this on the Bufkit website, but the link is...

Hi Tim, I've been experiencing one other map-related bug in version 1.0d. Here's what happens: There seems to be a problem with the zoom-in and zoom-out buttons on occasion. I zoomed in twice on a map of the western US to get a map of northern CA, western NV, and extreme southern OR. When I tried to...

Hi Tim, Sure, here's what happens: First of all, I'm running Windows ME. I boot DAWS, plot anything or any number of things on the map, and then when I try to clear the map to plot other data, I just get the white square at the top left corner of the map. I have to generate a new basemap to get a bl...

Hi Tim, After I wrote my previous comment, I plotted rawinsonde observations at the 250 MB level on a base map of much of North America and clicked Analysis>pressure>balanced height field (m). The following chart was the result: http://members.aol.com/MarcVIIII/cws/img19.gif As you can see, DAWS plo...

Hi Tim, Here are some of the bugs I'm running into in version 1.0d: RADAR BUGS: I tried to get the severe weather probability radar product for a number of local radar sites, and here's an excerpt from the status bar while DAWS was executing this: » Searching directory for latest file... » Searching...

I'm running version 1.0d on a Windows ME machine, and I'm experiencing the same problems as "kinetic." I had a base map of North America on which I plotted surface station data and did a sea-level pressure analysis, and when I tried to clear the map, I got the white square that was describ...

Hi Tim, First of all, this is a great program! Almost all the data you could want is accessible in this one place. Here are some problems and observations with DAWS 1.0c: At times, DAWS will come up with a range check error or other errors after data has been retrieved and it finishes decoding the d...

Oh, I forgot to answer your question about what computer I have. I'm running a Dell Inspiron 5000e.

Hi Tim, I checked both things you mentioned, and here are the results: First of all, I am running Windows ME. I do have Courier New font. I went into the SYSTEM32 folder, and discovered that I didn't have anything entitled: riched32.dll, so I did a quick google search and downloaded this file (it wa...
