[GEMPAK #BYB-969113]: MODSND question

Kevin,

The NAMSND has an output ascii routine namjen.f that is hardcoded to output 
specific parameters 
for some PC application: phelp namsnd...
     If the BUFR data file name is followed by |sss=#####, where sss
     is a 3-character station ID and ##### is the corresponding station
     number, then an ASCII file name prof.sss is generated

You are limited to the predetermined format when you use that ascii output.

You can control the output of HGHT and DWPT by using snlist on the
resultant upperair file produced from the buffer soundings by namsnd
presuming you are settin SNOUTF.
