Howdy!
Curiosity gets the best of this cat sometimes and I was wondering if
somebody could explain why the attached Public Information Statement (PNS)
ended up in the HDS feedtype instead of the DDPLUS|IDS ?

I know, I could just convert everything I do to use the WMO feedtype to
keep my scripts from missing stuff... I guess at the end of the day, I am
just lazy and wish to simply request all of IDS|DDPLUS instead of all of
WMO and then having to make complex regular expressions to grab specific
products I wish from WMO.
PS. Probably to answer my own question, the product contained 'special'
characters and was switched to the binary product feedtype since
it didn't pass the 'ascii' test?
thanks,
