Is there a way around this, since I see FOUSP >will be sunset in 7.7? FOUSDISP was written so that one could specify the time of the display that was desired in two different ways: absolute time specification and offset from the present. I thought that the RTIme and RDAY keywords could be used to specify the exact forecast time wanted, but I see that the code limits the selection of RTIme to between 0 and 235959. I am not sure if this is a simple mistake, or if it is important to keep. Since I am in the middle of building the latest distribution for one of my slower platforms (AIX 4.3), I will not be able to really scope this one out until tomorrow sometime. Tom
