Devin,

Great...

I created a file with a WMO header  WWUS40 KDEN 0102 and then used
pqinsert to send to my local machine.  I checked the output directory for
the pqact entry for the created file. It was created correctly.

Both (\1:yy) and (\1:yyyy) work correctly.  It's always better to use the
latest LDM release. UPC doesn't have the resources to run older LDM
releases.

Devin,

I don't know for sure, here's what I would try:

% cd ~ldm/bin
% cp pqact pqact.sav
% ldmadmin stop

copy new binary version of pqact to ~ldm/bin

% chmod 775 pqact
% ldmadmin start       
 
Check the logs/ldmd.log file to see pqact started up OK.
