WxLoader

While I have been waiting for the TCP/IP fix from my vendor I have been busy with changes to WxLoader. WxLoader has been completely reworked. This application now connects to the Weather Message Server using tcp/ip and no longer needs a processing directory. This eliminates the need for setting up alarms to archive products to a WxLoader directory.

It connects as a map client and can process any message sent to the map. There are a number of changes to this application. I hope to release a beta version by the weekend. It does require you to change the "files name" to "awips" identifers. This is caused by the fact that it no longer processes files.

Purging

A problem was identified with the new purging capability. If you used the number of products option, the program would not purge December products when January products arrived. I uploaded the fix to the website.
