Rodger,

I was talking about the functionality of pqing, not the internals.  Sure
the queue structures are different so one can't use the 5.1.2 pqing on an 
older release, like mixing apples and oranges.  I just
did a test on a surface raw file. 2000100312_sao.wmo   It seemed to work
fine,  output included.


I haven't downloaded any surface files from FSU or UCAR so I don't know
how the nulls are processed. The nulls could possibly cause a problem but
don't have time now to test as I have jury duty in 10 minutes. Maybe you
could shed so light on the problem.
