<div class="1Heading">The configureTextProducts program is a utility
that
is automatically run during installation and each time EDEX is started.
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Normally it is not
needed to be run manually.</span> The program automatically configures
the GFESuite set
of formatters based on the afos2awips.txt PIL/WMOID table. There are
other options available with configureTextProducts as well. You can run
it to delete the templated formatters, list the pil/wmoid information
for
your site, or list the pil/wmoid information for all sites.
The information output is sent to stdout and may be rerouted to a file
if desired. The create and delete modes also modify files on disk.<br>
<br>
The configureTextProducts program can be used to specify an alternate
afos2awips.txt file rather than the official file. This
capability is normally only used for testing.<br>
