Apparently the format of the VALID line in the 15 and 18Z front bulletins
has changed (??).  Don worked front.pgm over to recognize both versions,
so you should grab a new version of the source and remake it on your
system (7.10 correct?):

unix/710/bugfix/front.pgm

Ftp the source code to your ~mcidas/mcidas7.1/src directory and remake and
install the executable:

cd ~mcidas/mcidas7.1/src
ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu
<user>
<pass>
cd unix/710/bugfix
get front.pgm
quit
make front.k
rm ~mcidas/bin/front.k
ln front.k ~mcidas/bin

>I think this started today.

Actually it started a couple of days ago.  Must be a different person
doing the frontal analysis for these two time periods!?

You are welcome.
