20010110: IDD: GEM and ETA model questions

Christian,

GEM data from CMC is not available on the IDD yet. The person that was leading 
the
effort for installing the LDM and sending the data to us went on leave and
I do not know of any progress after that. I'll CC Linda Miller in case she knows
any more information and so we know users are interested in the data.

On the IDD, the ETA is available on the 207 (alaska) grid in addition to the
20, 40 and 80km conus grids you list below.
