[ferret_users] Ferret: Host is down

[jimmyc@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi-
Does anyone know what the "host is down" error means?
I issued this command to read an ascii data file maybe 50 lines long.
file/var="nam,q,dcape,cape,pres" ENV_cape.dat
then when I try to plot the data, it gives me the error:
yes? plot/vs pres,cape
 **TMAP ERR: Host is down
             Last or next-to-last record read:
ENV 1 746.328 5.024 974.400
             Data set: ./ENV_cape.dat
             Data file: ./ENV_cape.dat

I can read the file outside of Ferret, just not in Ferret.
Thanks for any insight
