[Xastir-Dev] Radar Composites update

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

I've spent a lot of time over the last 60 hours, as has Unidata support 
(the organization in Boulder who develop and distribute the origins data 
we're using) looking at my system and fixing niggling little errors I 
appear to have engendered there.

Friday when we started all this, the 1 minute, 30-minute and 1 hr load 
average for the box was wavering around 15.  Needless to say, the 
machine was "sluggish".  We've done a lot of cleanup and I just did some 
manual work this morning and it's down below 1.  We'll see what time brings.

There are a bunch of scripts that are real bears to run here, and all 
I've got is a P3-800 with 512MB.  I'd like to make that a dual P4, 
Athlon or Opteron, and may get to upgrade it soon.  We'll see if 
throwing CPU and memory makes this a little more stable.

Anyway, the maps are back up and we're trying to see why things appear 
to be offset.  I do not believe it's a projection issue.

Here's the file-creation parameters in Gempad's nex2img:
  GRDAREA  = 25;-125;50;-65
  PROJ     = CED
  KXKY     = 6000;2500

GRDAREA is the bounds of the composite and image in lat/lon
PROJ is in "Cylindrical Equidistant" form, a pedantic-academic way to 
say, "Lat/Lon unprojected"
KXKY is the size of the resultant image in pixels.

Attached are the .geo, a PNG world file, and the png image.

If anyone sees problems with these, please post 'em -- both to clear up 
any registration issues and to tell me where I slipped a bit!
