19990506: LDM - dcgrib errors with ETA data

Michael,
You can use pqing to ingest your MRF file into your LDM queue.
Use pqing -f HRS to tell the server that the data feed will be HRS
data.

The pqact.conf entry for mrf extended looks ok, and we are receiving it
here using the same pattern. As long as you did the "make clean" step
in the dcgrib directory before building the decoder, the table of
projections should be correct, which would be the only cause I could think
of for not decoding.

The MRF finished at ~3:30 AM this morning here so as long as you had the
recompiled decoder in place at that time, then that shouldn't be the problem.

Since you can manually decoder the data, it sounds like the decoder is working 
properly- but you can test the pqact pattern with pqing as mentioned
above. 

Let me know what you find out from reingesting...
