Tom,

These files are on the NOAAPort data stream that you receive,
however they are in RedBook graphics format and we don't have
a viewer at this time in out supported software. The NWS uses the
products in their afos terminal.

The WMO headers beginning with "P" , as in PPTQ98 KWNH above,
are the redbook graphics products.

It may be possible to adapt the Gempak $NAWIPS/nprogs/afos
viewer program to RedBook format in the next major release 
of Gempak- still uncertain when NCEP will give it to us.
