Tom, et al,

I talked to Chad yesterday and I inserted the fix into tg2 ( NCAR Np )
machine yesterday afternoon.  I also wrote Alden so they can insert the
fix.  I wish that NWS would of disseminated the changes so over 100
universities would of not lost model data.  I bet PRC systems had s/w
updates for this change.  I believe Dave Himes just did an update last
week for his PRC NOAAport system. A note about this needs to be written to
the NWS.
