20000925: 20000925: files not the same size on two machines

Tom,
I think we better know how data is getting into the surface files.
Do you have a dchrly entry in your ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf file on the Linux box?
from the time stamp on the file below:
> 000925_sao.gem          25-Sep-2000 09:00   7.7M
it may be that you have a script running at the top of the hour to decode the 
data, 
rather than pipe the data through the decoder as it arrives.

If we can find out how you are running dchrly, that might shed some light
on what data is in the file. You might want to "grep" for dchrly
in your scripts directory to see if any of those are invoking the decoders.
