Digital Atmosphere Workstation Patch V1.0m is now available at:
http://www.weathergraphics.com/download.htm

Changes from V1.0l to V1.0m (6/27/04)
* Added "All" to surface and upper time selection menus, which allows all observations to be plotted
regardless of time. Use with caution!
* Problem with synoptic wind units being sporadically calculated incorrectly between m/s and kt has been fixed.
* I have made major changes to the SYNOP importing routine. The existing versions were having a problem with
single-line SYNOPs. Much more data will be available now.
* I have loosened the rules on detection of some ship and buoy obs, so more of those should be coming through.
* I have also loosened the requirement for the second/third line of a synop obs to be indented.
* There was a bug in Recompile Tables and it caused the lowest station in a hundreds group, e.g. 3100-3199, 3200-3299 to be ignored. You can see this by reviewing OUTPUT.SFC. This has been fixed. The station tables and internal index files have been updated as a result.

Hoooray! Thanks for the buoys back!

I had no idea it fixed the buoy problem. I noticed some of the buoy reports only had 4 xxxxx groups per line, so I lowered the check from 5 of these to 4. That's probably letting more of them get through.

Beta M fixed an IO error 32 being recived after retrieval during beta L

Still getting a range check error after retrieving frontal bulletin from Albany.

Are any of these patches going to be available to those of us who purchased the Professional version of Workstation? Just asking. I am still currently using Ver 1.0f and have not seen a patch yet.
