DCWSTM

DCWSTM decodes winter storm reports from a real-time data feed, 
or from a file fed to the program through standard input, 
and writes the data to an ASCII file.  The program is controlled 
by inputs to the command line.

The inputs are program options and the output file name or template.
For example, for real-time data feeds:
    
	dcwstm [options] output_file

If running the program interactively with standard input, the -c
option must be used.  The input file must also be specified.
For example:

	dcwstm -c YYMMDD/HHNN [other_options] output_file < input_file
    
A template may be used to specify the output file name.  The file
name template uses the date and time of the bulletin or report
to replace the following characters.

	YYYY or YY	Year with or without the century
	MM		Month number
	DD		Day
	HH		Hour
	NN		Minute


The format of the output ASCII file is as follows:

|Message|Start|Stop|Bulletin  |Weather|Corr/test|Cancel
|type   |time |time|originator|type   |flag     | flag
