Re: LDM question...



Alaric,

FOS and NOAAport are not identical at all because the sequence nunbers
don't match. The LDM uses a md5 check sum on each product including the
sequence numbers, so the products appear different to the LDM. 
So you will get product duplication.  You have to make a choice to use
only one feed. Also, don't request the FOS from Alden, UPC has terminated
that contract in Jan. 

Robb...

ps  I was out of the office last week.
