Robert, FWS has an annoying habit of sending every product twice, but since their ZLIB portion internal to the product has a different sequence number, they have a different MD5 checksum.

I can pack up my current tree if you want to try that. Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support > > I have a very weird issue with GARP from GEMPAK5.10.2.
