Mike Schmidt did speculate that RAP might have another type of WSI system,
the reason for Tenny as the contact.

I believe in the beginning of the NIDS over NOAAport, there will be some
missing products, not sure of what products or why.  It could just be a
start up issue. The information is not concrete, Linda Miller is keeping

Noop, the decoder will not be included into the LDM but it will be
available similar to the Unidata decoders package. I think PRC was leaning
towards using the GRIB2 as the compressor when I talked to them at the AMS
