Pete,

Thanks. My upstream sites must have stopped requesting the LWTOA3 format files 
starting last night, since I stopped getting
any new data after 02/04Z.  I went ahead and put on the new ldm-mcidas and 
started ingesting the png2area files and now I
seem to be getting McIDAS satellite area files once again. Oh well, it's sooner 
than I planned, but it's done!

I have full NOAAPORT data, but the 4km imagery doesn't extend very far from 
CONUS. For those regions, I have to use 8-km
data which doesn't zoom very well.

                                                Jim
