Tony,

I don't know the answer to this.  I will touch base with Steve
Chiswell to see if he knows, and I will get back to you.

Again, I will have to rely on Chiz for this.

>I hadn't heard of it as the "NCEP analysis system" before.
>Is this the right characterization?

Ditto the comment above.

>Thanks,

I will get back to you with info from Steve when he gets in.
