can't find site files...

There was a bug in the 4.0 release of s.surf.idw. It aprobably will work if you
specify the site file on the command line instead of letting the program prompt
you for a name. If you find this to be true then check for this line in main.c
and see if they are the same:

   parm.input->gisprompt = "old,site_lists,sites" ;

What you'll probably see is that "site_lists" is mispelled in your version.

Indeed! This has to be the quickest fix in history...or I'm just running
a long streak of good luck!

Only...For some reason, even typing in the site name wouldn't work (of
course the name was 13 characters I could have typed it wrong).

Anyway, all is right.

cheers,
