Robert, I'll leave your MOS question regarding McIDAS for Tom to answer, but wanted to let you know that if you are decoding the mos data with dcnmos, dcmmos, then you can list out the raw text bulltins for a STATE, single station or region etc, eg: SFFILE = $GEMDATA/mos/99032412_nmos.gem AREA = @ak DATTIM = all SFPARM = text OUTPUT = t IDNTYP = stid GEMPAK-SFLIST> or AREA=@JNU or AREA=AK the SFPARM=text will print the raw bulletin as long as you aren't specifying -n on the decoder command line (which specifies not to store the raw report).
