Neil,

I've attached the new dcacars binary for freebsd. It will recognize the
TAMDAR RH variables of sensor[12]RelativeHumidity
as a replacement for the previous CDL variable of "rh_probe".

If you can't receive attachments like this, I'll post the single file on
the web. I'm assuming you wouldn't prefer an updated 5.8.2a tarfile since
your still running 5.6?

Let me know if you have any trouble, etc.
