[Met_help] PointStatConfig syntax error

[John Halley Gotway]

Ann,

Here's a link to a Point-Stat configuration file from the METv2.0 Online
Tutorial:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv2.0/point_stat/PointStatConfig_default

In there you'll see that it should look something like this:
mask_poly[] = [ "MET_BASE/data/poly/EAST.poly",
"MET_BASE/data/poly/WEST.poly" ];

The '[]' after the 'mask_poly' tells the parser that an array of items is
to follow.  The array elements should be comma-separated.

Let me know if you continue to have problems with this.

Thanks,
John Halley Gotway
