Neil,

I've attached the new dcacars binary for freebsd. It will recognize the
TAMDAR RH variables of sensor[12]RelativeHumidity
as a replacement for the previous CDL variable of "rh_probe".
If you can't receive attachments like this, I'll post the single file on the web. I'm assuming you wouldn't prefer an updated 5.8.2a tarfile since 
your still running 5.6?

Let me know if you have any trouble, etc.

1st time for an ACARS ingest/decode and I'm not getting
anything decoded.

I am having success in getting gunzip'd netcdf files with pqact.conf:
PCWS    ^FSL\.CompressedNetCDF\.MADIS\.acars\.(.*)
         PIPE    -close  /unidata/ldm/decoders/store_MADIS.sh
data/gempak/acars.nc/ \1

where the store_MADIS.sh looks like:
#!/bin/sh
STAMP=`date "+%S"`
gzip -d > $1/$$.$2; F=`echo $2 | cut -c1-13`; mv $1/$$.$2
$1/$F.$STAMP.nc
ncdump of the output file doesn't fail so I presume it's a valid netcdf 
file. Can
provide it as a sample if you wish. Running dcacars on command line on
this file
gives the same errors.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
-Neil
