Jim,

The pqing added /m tags for model #44 and SST are /mSST.

For grids 61-64, these are HT[TUVW]A93 KWBC ......./mSST
for those who are receiving the IDD.

If you were using a pqing locally from a pre-ldm-5.1, you may have seen
/m44 instead of /mSST and if you upgraded your LDM (pqing) recently,
you may have noticed some /m tag improvements that were introduced
several years ago (about the time ETA was changing from ETA 89 and ETA 85
to ETA 84.
