TMAP ERR in demo files

[Bertrand REPTIN <reptin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have installed Ferret with HPUX 10.20.

I can't use any demo script reading TMAP file, I have always an error
similar as the following one :

************************************************************************
yes? go edit_data_file_demo
! replace_arbitrary_values.jnl   - last modified 8/24/92
 
! Description: demo of a technique for "hand-editing" a variable
 
! This FERRET script demonstrates a technique for customizing data on an
! arbitrary basis - i.e. replacing arbitrary regions of a variable with
! arbitrarily selected values
 
! This example customizes the land/ocean mask contained in the 2x2
degree
! ETOPO data set supplied with FERRET
 
! NetCDF files and the SAVE command are at the heart of the technique
 
set data etopo120

All of the demo files that give this error use a TMAP GT format file.

What is wrong with this format here ?

Thanks
