The reason I break the product up is two-fold:


1. A volume takes from 6-10 minutes to produce.  I send the data as soon as it
is received.  The partial product could be useful.

2. Also, I am compressing the radar volume as I receive it, and each individual
piece has been seperately compressed.

Given the above, it would make sense to leave it the way I have it.  Do you have
any suggestions as to naming, perhaps instead of

        YYYYMMDDHHMMSS IIII nnn mm [E]

what would be better is:

IIII/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS/nnn/mm[/E]
