[IDV #KVH-846397]: DORADE file not loading

Rick-

As Yuan points out, the file is a UF format file, not a DORADE.  However, it 
could be that she tried to open it using the "DORADE Radar files" Data Source 
Type which would not work with the UF format.  She should use the "NEXRAD Radar 
files" type (for now) since that will handle NEXRAD, DORADE and UF.  I just 
checked in a change so that the "DORADE Radar files" source type will not show 
up in the list (since it has been superceded by the other reader) and have 
changed the "NEXRAD Radar Files" to be "Radar Files (NEXRAD/DORADE/UF)".

> Rick,
> The IDV is able to display those Universal Format DORADE files, but the 
> attached file is not a valid one, I also checked the one in your ftp site, 
> the same bad file, you can simply look at the size of the file to know it is 
> pretty much an empty file.
