GEMPAK users,

I have updated the watchbox pattern/action in the online examples
for dcwtch for GEMPAK 5.6.E.1 which follows the change in WMO headers:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/tutorial/pqact/decoders.tbl

The pattern for dcwtch is now:
WMO     ^(WWUS(40|08)|WOUS20|WWUS30) .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])

this change is necessary in order to decode the watch box bulletins
for plotting in GPMAP and NMAP/2.
