Re: 19990709: duplicate products in the noaaport idd

Bill,

That's some interesting results. I'll run some tests here.  The reason, I
asked about the sequence number because it's included in the checksum.
That needs to be change.  The arrival time is also important because there
has been times that the NWS resent the last 4 hours of data again over
NOAAport. I'll let you know what I find out. Currently, I'm preparing for
the LDM workshop presentation, so my time is limited now.

Robb...
