I am not sure.  One thing that does stick out is that there is no TIME
parameter (yes, I see there is an HMS parameter).  I am not sure if this
is significant or not.

This will take some more digging.

No worries.

FYI: Unidata McIDAS-X/-XCD v2017 is now available in the Downloads
area of the Unidata website.

Cheers,
