Hi gembud folks,
Since it isn't clear to me if/when the Unidata GEMPAK repository will be
updated, I took the liberty of creating a fork that includes a few bug
fixes and one new feature. I added GNU Readline support to the GEMPAK
prompt (Linux only), so that you can indeed now use the arrow keys (and
other shortcuts like Ctrl-a, etc.,) to your heart's content.
You can checkout my 'develop' branch if you are interested:
https://github.com/sgdecker/gempak/tree/develop
I don't anticipate making any further changes myself, but would
certainly entertain pull requests. Note that the way I added Readline
support probably broke the build for anything but gfortran on Linux.
I have been testing this branch (in a very loose sense of the word test)
over the last few weeks, and it seems OK, but I should probably be
clear: Use at your own risk!
Sincerely,
Steve
