The problem with this solution is that I still need to specify the
stations I want which don't fit on a line 72 chars long...

I guess I'm just going to modify the shell script to run through the
times I need and run sfmap twice each time... Thanks for your fast
responses.  Btw, why such a 72 char limitation?

Anyway, thanks.
Tom.
