You will need the LDM-McIDAS decoder lwtoa3 to decode the images
in the Unidata-Wisconsin datastream. You can obtain a binary version
at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/mcidd/ldm-mcidas.html
In the configuration instructions there is an explanation of the
pqact.conf entry. You will need to have a copy of ROUTE.SYS (included
in the tar file) in the directory where you store the data if you
want to have more than 4 images of each type save. ROUTE.SYS will
ensure that you save 10 of each type.
