Robb,

The NOAAport ingestor inspects each product and counts the number of
non-printable characters in the product. If this count reaches a certain
threshold, the product is considered a binary product. The threshold at
which the product is considered binary was chosen rather arbitrarily and
is set to 3.

The following ASCII characters are deemed printable.

        decimal 32 through 128

The following non-printable characters are also deemed printable because
they are part of the standard WMO bulletin.

        NUL, SOH, STX, ETX, CR, LF

Would it be possible for me to look at some of these MRF/MOS products
that are being routed out HDS?

PS. I installed the pqing.c you sent me last week. Sorry I didn't
install it sooner.
