Charlie,

With all that horsepower you still struggle with WMO format? Zillions of
five-digit encoded obscurities? Surely a wee finite-state autonmaton such
as tinkered by one of my students can relieve that tension. Taking this
issue seriously, I personally eyeballed a PDP11/40 at Heathrow Airport
near London which tapped those digits from the weather wire and produced
a quite respectable English rendition suitable for automatic broadcast
by regions throughout the country. One of my radios has a feature that
announces its frequency in English. Strongly Japanese-accented English.
