                 AVN, FNL DATACARD UPDATE # 2.1)

Implemented 12Z 25 October 1995:

TOVS (NOAA-12) retrievals are no longer processed operationally.
(TOVBFR set to FALSE.)

Indian radiosonde mass reports are now processed operationally.
(PG4243 set to FALSE.)

ERS-1 scatterometer data is now merged with the PREPBUFR file after
PREPDATA but before SYNDATA.

Wind profiler data is present in the PREPBUFR files (-3 to +2-hours
about cycle time) but it has never been (up to this point)
assimilated by the SSI-analyses.
