Donna,

No, the NCEP bufr files aren't part of the Unidata IDD. They can be
downloaded (via FTP) and decoded into GEMPAK using namsnd into a surface 
(for meteorogram) and upper air file (for sounding) for plotting.

Also, back to dcncprof where I'm still scratching my head.... now
after the workshop is over I can scratch harder again.
The log message you had was that the temporary file couldn't be created.
Is it still the case that you get no output? Can you run as the account that
runs the LDM using the pqact arguments? Just for clarification, your
failed path is:
gempak/acars/.tmp_netcdf.p8dsYD
Whereas our usual path is a data/gempak directory under the LDM account tree.
I know your don't have a ~ldm user account, but where is your $GEMDATA tree
in relation to that location of $LDMHOME?
