[GEMPAK #QUF-502446]: Units on new NIDS velocity products

Hi Harry, I'm away until Monday so will look at this then.  Can't remember off 
the top of my head but didn't make any edits to crnids as it handled the new 
files without error, though if there's a unit conversion error I missed it 
would not have stood out as 0.5 m/s is too close to 1 knot for my eyes to catch 
if the products looked wrong.
