Hi Brian, we do not offer it.... I apologize if the document is misleading, back in '99 when we got our feed from Alden, it was available because Alden had set up a point to point with the NWS and was reingesting into the IDD. Alden does not exist anymore and we now get our data from NOAAport. What actual -data- are you looking for? I suspect it is in a feedtype we do offer. -Jeff ____________________________ _____________________ Jeff Weber address@hidden Unidata Support PH:303-497-8676 NWS-COMET Case Study Library FX:303-497-8690 University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 ________________________________________ ______________________ On Tue, 5 Jun 2001, Brian S.
