[NOAAPORT #VHS-648329]: noaaport ingest

Hi Randy,

OK.

I don't know if you mean an AWIPS I or AWIPS II "termainal".  The setups are 
very
different from one another, so which one does make a difference.  If you are
talking about AWIPS II, then those interested in setting it up will undoubtedly
need to do the setup on one or more machines other than noaapxcd.  If they
are interested in setting up AWIPS I, I have no information on what may
need to be done.

OK, the needed setup is still the same as I sent in a previous email.
The first step is to FILE the products to disk.  After that is up and
working, the next step is to setup McIDAS ADDE serving of the data.

re:
> I'll be leaving it up to our awips team to figure out how to ingest the data

OK.

re:

No, not if you/they are talking about AWIPS II.  Again, it has its own
procedure for ingesting, processing and serving the data to CAVE (Common
Awips Visualization Environment).

Yes, after changing the <tab> indicators to actual tab characters.

re:

OK.

re:

The same as 1) above.  I am suggesting that you put the action at
the end of the file, not at the beginning.

Cheers,

Tom
