Re: gsn_define_colormap(wks,"posneg_2")

We highly recommend that you upgrade, but if you are unable
to, then you can still use this color table. Take the attached
"posneg_2.rgb"
file and put it in the directory $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/colormaps.

It should then be automatically available to your version of NCL.
