Bryan,

>I've noticed that the FRNTDISP command has been failing on the 12Z ASUS1
>messages a lot lately.  It gives a message saying "FRNTDISP: No fronts,
>highs, or lows found".
>
>Have you also noticed this?

I hadn't noticed this mainly because I don't plot fronts all of the time.
I did, however, verify your observation:

FRNTDISP OLAY 12
FRNTDISP - Begin
FRNTDISP: No fronts, highs, or lows found
FRNTDISP failed, RC=2

>I bet that someone is coding the message in
>such a way that messes things up, but nothing jumps out at me when looking
>at the messages.

I agree, nothing in the message jumps out at me either:

WXTLIST FRONT_ANAL NUM=2

I will have to take a closer look to see what is going on.  I will
get back to you if/when I find something.
