Wow, that is a blast from the past!
I have a c version of a nids decompressor called ucnids - I believe that Dan
Vietor may have written that. I still use it for some of my decoding. I can
provide the source code for that if anyone would like.

Unbelievable - I found it:
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/idd/msg01777.html
2000 - not late '90's. And it was Pete, not Mike, that wrote it.

Art - Mike Dross had a perl script in the late '90's - I'll see if I can find
it via Google.

It's libs, so compress -d should work... If you're using pyART, I believe
there's a libz toll in python, but after today's packing session for the great
house movezi can't, for the life of me, remember it.

Thanks Stonie. So, the error must be related to a failed effort to decompress
the NOAAPort version of the file... is anyone aware of a standalone
decompressor
that could be used to convert the NOAAPort NIDS compressed version into an
uncompressed version?

The data on NOAAPort is compressed frame by frame via libz; once you
uncompress, the data is identical.

Hi...
Anyone know if the NOAAPort NIDS files are the same data as reside in
ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/SL.us008001/DF.of/DC.radar/?
We are able to read the tgftp data using pyART but when we try reading the same
NOAAPort NIDS data (e.g. differential reflectivity N0X),
we get an error "NotImplementedError: Level3 product with code 3338 is not
supported". Any ideas on what this error might mean?
Thanks... Art
