Robert, The programs work with 4 letter IDS, for example, I used KACQ. All IDs are referenced are searched from $GEMPAK/source/gemlib/lc/lcfloc.f in the following tables: sfstns.tbl snstns.tbl snworld.tbl The sfworld.tbl table isn't used. It could be added to the check order, but isn't one of the tables that NCEP uses.
