Pete,
Thanks for the offer, but it looks like our smaller files are about the
same size as yours. Over the IDD, these have been gradually growing with
additional data over the last hour or so. I have sometimes seen these
sparse files get completely populated after about 6-hours via IDD, so
hopefully more data will be shoved into the pipe. They were only about
40KB of data in most , when I sent out my original e-mail.
Jim

Jim,
Not sure if ours are complete or not, but there is data in the files
for that time period. They are smaller than normal though.

If you still want what I have, let me know. Looks like whatever
the problem was, it's fixed as of the 01 UTC 26 obs.
