[Ncep.list.nems.announce] Compilation problems on WCOSS Cray, and other NEMSCompsetRun issues

[Samuel Trahan - NOAA Affiliate]

Hi all,

Update on the aforementioned issues:

1. The WCOSS Cray license server issues are resolved.  You can compile how
you always did.  Please file a WCOSS helpdesk ticket if the problem
reoccurs.

2. I'm still working on the NEMS nightly test scripts, so the website will
still display gibberish.  Due to the Jet downtime tomorrow, I won't finish
this until at least Wednesday.

3. The Jet account_params issue is resolved.

Sincerely,
Sam Trahan
