[ldmMcidas #XGX-360555]: decoding FNEXRAD 1 km N0R composite images

Hi Elmer,

Sorry for the tardy reply.  I am hosting a McIDAS training workshop at the 
moment
and am not able to look at email until the evening...

Hmm...  The fact that you named the output file AREA8000 has me a bit
concerned.

Not really.  I would have a better chance of helping if I knew how you

dsserve.k LIST LOC
dsserve.k LIST RDA
