Hsie,

Thanks for giving me the green light!

You are, of course, correct.  I made the mistake of not looking hard
enough at the pqact.conf entry when I switch the decoder being used
from readpng.  The '-n' flag is not supported in pngg2gini or
zlibg2gini, but is in readpng.

This was my fault for being in a hurry this morning.  I hit blizzard
last in the sequence of machines that I was was upgrading, and this was
after the new GOES-West Zlib-compressed images started being
broadcast.

All I can say is "oops".  Sorry for the goof!
