20001110: 20001110: 20001110: 20001023: radar problems in nmap/garp - gempak5.6

Bryan, 


The previoius version may be a problem with the string length to files.
For directories with lots of files, or long path names to the files, the
resultant strings for times passed back could overflow the allocated space.
This should be corrected in the current release.

The first instance is probably a problem with the parsing of the filename
into the date pieces.

Let me know if you encounter any problems with the current version and
file naming.
