Nigel, I started receiving DWDSAT data this morning and have been quite
amazed at the amount of data received. The .IA5 are bulletins and can
actually be opened in notepad. I am still having a look at all I have
received today so still learning, although Douglas will no doubt keep me
right as had the service for a year albeit sometime ago. One thing I have
just learned is the .TAR files open with Gribviewer. Have fun.

Regards
Ian.
