I just ran the same command you list above on a Sun Solaris Sparc 5.9 system using a build of the latest release, v2003b, compiled with gcc/g77 and I did get listings for both 0 and 12 GMT: % wxtlist.k WMO=USUS UKUS WSTN=KWBC MATCH='72518' FORM=HEAD NUM=66 SOU bytes day time WMO WSTN APRO ASTN Actual Header --- ----- ------- ------ ------- ---- ---- ---- ------------------ DDS 2000 2004068 124044 UKUS 1 KWBC UKUS01 KWBC 081200 DDS 4960 2004068 124011 UKUS90 KWBC UKUS90 KWBC 081200 DDS 4640 2004068 124007 USUS90 KWBC USUS90 KWBC 081200 DDS 4800 2004068 124001 UKUS50 KWBC UKUS50 KWBC 081200 DDS 4880 2004068 124001 USUS50 KWBC USUS50 KWBC 081200 DDS 2480 2004068 123955 USUS 1 KWBC USUS01 KWBC 081200 DDS 800 2004068 121407 UKUS 1 KWBC UKUS01 KWBC 081200 DDS 9280 2004068 121353 UKUS90 KWBC UKUS90 KWBC 081200 DDS 8480 2004068 121353 USUS90 KWBC USUS90 KWBC 081200 DDS 10640 2004068 121350 UKUS50 KWBC UKUS50 KWBC 081200 DDS 9920 2004068 121350 USUS50 KWBC USUS50 KWBC 081200 DDS 1120 2004068 121342 USUS 1 KWBC USUS01 KWBC 081200 DDS 560 2004068 010807 UKUS 1 KWBC UKUS01 KWBC 080000 DDS 480 2004068 010800 USUS 1 KWBC USUS01 KWBC 080000 DDS 2400 2004068 005308 UKUS90 KWBC UKUS90 KWBC 080000 DDS 880 2004068 005308 USUS90 KWBC USUS90 KWBC 080000 DDS 2400 2004068 005306 UKUS50 KWBC UKUS50 KWBC 080000 ... What ADDE server are you pointing at when you do your listing? I am pointed at adde.ucar.edu which is still running v2003a. Perhaps this is a server-side problem? What happens when you point at adde.ucar.edu: dataloc.k ADD RTWXTEXT adde.ucar.edu Also, the fact that you use RAOBRPT successfully, and RAOBRPT uses the same RTWXTEXT dataset is strange. This would almost say that the WXTLIST executable is faultly on your system. Pointing at a different ADDE server and getting the same results (i.e., no 0 GMT soundings listed) would confirm that the problem is in WXTLIST. If you do find that WXTLIST is the culprit, please send me the output of the same command substituting 20 for 66 (in the NUM= keyword) and adding DEV=CCC to the end of the command invocation. Thanks! By the way, I am sitting in a friends apartment in San Jose, Costa Rica as I write this reply. You gotta love the internet!
