Hi Diana.
I have the latest update to the NCDC cdrom (V 2.3 of getraob)
which I will pack up with snlist and a script with program to 
import the data into GEMPAK.

One question I wanted to ask you for tailoring the script is
if you will primarily be looking at a time series of values
for a few stations. If you will only be extracting data for a few stations,
then I'll set the script up differently than if you are planning to
get all stations for all times since the getraob program that FSL/NCDC provide 
for the cdroms will create either files by date or files by station.
