We do not alter the messages, so when the NWS places a Ctrl-Z in their dissemination it goes in to the archive. This is not a problem in general end of file. You can filter out the control characters as needed on your end- however to aleviate this problem I have done so to the file that is posted here. **************************************************************************** < Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program < (303)497-8644 P.O.
