Yes and no, a template for dating convention needs to be specified..either
by line command or hard wired..

You have no NWX data for ccs013 it is all in weather format..ugh, the bane
of collaboration. But you can "more" the files they are in ASCII text, but
no nice GUI..plus NWX currently cannot read data more than 48 hours old,
Chiz may be able to change that in the future if we can get COMET to
include NWX data instead of weather. I am attaching a GARP_Defaults file
to you in hopes that it eases your config issues..

Great, sorry for all the hoops and hurdles..

# Garp configuration file
#
# The syntax needed in the file is:
#
# token : resource
#
# where:
#
# - token is defined as a string delimited by white space or
# the delimiter ","
# - the delimiter between token and resource is the :,
# - no white space needs to surround the delimiter,
# - comments are indicated by a #,
# neither token nor resource can begin with a # or :,
# however a # or a : can be embedded within resource,
# - resource can contain white space if it is bounded by
# the ' or " characters,
# - blank lines are allowed.
# - referbacks are indicated by $(...). The '...' is resolved
# the same way any other token is, and is substituted for
# the $(...) string to compose the final resource value.
# - Multiple referbacks are allowed in a resource, but
# embedded referbacks are not allowed (i.e. no
# $($(...)) allowed).
# - case for the token is significant
