[Support #RZI-325369]: Re: New LDM server for EMWIN-only feed

Gilbert,

Your script which creates the FOS header for the bulletins retrieved by wget
needs to have a space " " character following the 3 digit sequence number, eg:
>
> #!/bin/csh
> printf "\001\r\r\n000\r\r\n"                      <<---change this line
> printf "SAUS80 KWBC `date --utc +%d%H%M`\r\r\n"
> printf "METAR\n"


printf "\001\r\r\n000 \r\r\n"                       <<-- corrected line


The pqsurf program expects the WMO header to begin at byte 12 in the bulletin.

Most decoders aren't that rigid, they are usually looking for the start of the 
TTAAII at the beginning of 
a line and not hardcoded to byte 12.

Once you make that correction pqsurf will work.

The only downside is that your bulletins are possibly larger than FOS 16384 
byte limits
(though your split up pqsurf.pq bulletins are not), and GEMPAK for instance has 
a product buffer
102400 bytes for the stream decoders, so passing a bulletin that is 200K bytes 
will make the decoder
not find the end within the allowed length.
