Tom,
The nws-changes file contains messages generated by the NWS which
we archive, as well as send out to our sites. We do not alter
the messages, so when the NWS places a Ctrl-Z in their dissemination
it goes in to the archive. This is not a problem in general
end of file. You can filter out the control characters as needed on your
end- however to aleviate this problem I have done so to the file
that is posted here.
