Alan,

The script gtsnp_nr2decomp(1) appears to trigger a compression
of all the decompressed segments of a sweep upon seeing the "/E"
suffix in the product-identifier.  If there's more than a single
path by which data-products from a radar site can arrive at your
LDM, then it's possible that the "/E" data-product will arrive
*not* after the other three data-products of the same sweep have
arrived.  I suspect that the output of the compression utility,
gtsnp_nr2comp(1), will be smaller in this case than if all four
data-products of the sweep had been used.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
