Re: NPROGS on MacOS-X platform

Antti,

MacOSX is not a platform that I support at this time for GEMPAK
due to the limitation of the OS support for the SYSV message queues.

The package will build using open motif and g77/gcc ( I tested using Fink's
distributions). Decoders and GUIs will run, while command line programs that
use message queue's build will not. Developers environments for X11 and
Motif are needed.

At the time I tested, the Apple gcc/g77 had a version incompatibility with
libg2c, which led me to use the Fink version.
