Harry,

This feature works for me. You have to be storing the raw obs using dcmetr
(eg, not using the -n flag)  so that nwx can retrieve these from the
decoded file. Are you storing the decoded files as YYYYMMDD_sao.gem?
Nwx is pretty picky about file naming, but if you see that the correct files
are being opened, and the raw obs (eg SFPARM=TEXT in sflist shows the obs)
are in the file, then maybe its the station IDs. The $NWX_TABLES/sfstns.tbl 
uses 3 letter IDs as the form for retieving the stations from the surface file, 
so this should agree with the table you are using for the decoded data.

Can you give me details? Is this all OS's?
