Greg,

Yes. Some software, like the grib decoders don't care since they key on the
GRIB......7777 delimeters, however, other decoders, like dchrly get a complete
bulletin to pass to the decoder. Without ETX, the bulletin is not found.
The IDD products are checked for \r\r\n^C and it is created if the products
do not have them as they come off the NOAAPORT feed.
