20000606: 20000605: 20000605: Lightning data question

The new tarfile is in ~gbuddy/nawips-5.4/patches/dcnldn_20000606.tar.gz

You can unpack this from the $NAWIPS directory, then:
cd $NAWIPS/unidata/ldmbridge/dcnldn
make clean
make all
make test
make install
make clean

The TSEC and MSEC parameters are implemented as they were in nldntogem, where
TSEC will be the number of seconds of the day (rather than since 1970), and
msec is milliseconds. Thus TSEC ranges from 0->86399.

The "make test" will decode into an hourly file using 1 minute bins for the
gempak dattim.
