Darrell,

About the same thing as using 1 level is to use one stndex:
 AREA     = dset
 DATTIM   = all
 SNPARM   = 
 STNDEX   = stim
 LEVELS   = 
 VCOORD   = 
 OUTPUT   = t
 MRGDAT   = y

You could also set output=f and then grep for "STID" in the
file to just dump out those lines.

Alternatively, with a couple line program to acces sthe gemlib routines, 
you can get the  available times with sn_gtim then loop through
the calls to sn_stim and sn_snxt to get each station for
each time.
