So can it be assumed that the sample pqact.confs in the GEMPAK distributions
are similar to what Unidata uses and suggests?
Thanks,
Robert

David,
We have made use of splitting an otherwise VERY long pqact file into
smaller ones, mostly grouped on feedtype. We have a pqact.conduit, a
pqact.nexrad, a pqact.exp, etc.
As Tom said, "It is much better to run several pqacts as long as ..." We
also find the benefit of reducing debugging time when something has gone
wrong with a pqact action and we know which smaller pqact file was
updated most recently! This way also seems easier, at least, to us.
