Angel,

You are welcome.

The CMAN data should be filed in the Ship/Buoy MD files.  The default
dataset setup we send out specifies this as RTPTSRC/SHIPBUOY.

Here is a blow-by-blow (mainly for fleshing out information in our
inquiry tracking system) of how I went about looking up information for
a CMAN station (which I am not very familiar with):

(by the way, I ran the same commands on your machine and got the same output)

You can have PTLIST tailor the output in a variety of ways, so you are not
limited to the output format listed above.

Hi Tom,

Thanks so much for all your help. The XCD stuff is running just fine. I'll
start with the CMAN data when I return from the Usenix meeting in San Diego
next week.
