Tom,
The feedtype is first part of the pqact entry, so it's DDS|IDS

The metar2nc.new is prototype for new output format with new variable
names. At this time forget about it

Are you set up to receive data from thelma? There has to be an ALLOW
entry in the ldmd.conf for your machine name(IP) on thelma. You can test
it on your machine by using notifyme, ie
% notifyme -vl - -f "IDS|DDS"
It should show the product that are arriving on the screen. Also, you can
test what products are arriving on thelma by:
% notifyme -vl - -f "IDS|DDS" -h thelma.ucar.edu
What's your machine name?
Robb...
