CONDUIT model data users,

The host computer for the NMC2 feed is changing to a new machine- the
effect of which is that the data directory structure for the model data
files has changed from a leading /public directory name to /u/ftp/gateway.

The remaining part of the directory naming structure is identical,
and if you are using pattern/actions that key on any part at or past the
/ncep directory names, then you will not need to make any changes 
(pqact.conf entry examples at 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/chiz/ncep_idd/)

eg, previously:
/public/ncepe/nggrib/ruc2a.990224/ruc2.T21Z.bgrbanl etc.

new:
/u/ftp/gateway/ncepe/nggrib/ruc2a.990224/ruc2.T21Z.bgrbanl etc.

Data will be injected from both machines while the new machine
is being configured.
