Re: non color skew T for publication

The .hluresfile was not specifically targeting the skewT plot.
It is the file NCL recommends to be installed.
It overrides some defaults; increases workspace; etc

I am not sure what to say .... It may be that
the code will have to be modified.

No matter .... I have no idea why you are getting white barbs
under any circumstances.
