need to read record unit with more than 24 characters

[rosatrancoso]

ECMWF Tropical cyclone forecasts have the storm id and name in the "unit" part of the record, but after the 24th character.

I would suggest increasing the size of unit string to more than 24, unless there is a reason for that. In this case, is it possible to read the '04W' and 'MAYSAK' strings any other way?

4 STORM IDENTIFIER 0.10030000000000E+004 CCITTIA5 04W 5 WMO LONG STORM NAME 0.20100000000000E+004 CCITTIA5 MAYSAK

Thanks!

I can't see any reason why not to increase the string size. Did you already fix this locally ? In this case feel free to send a patch, otherwise I can have a look at it later.

I'll have a look after I finish my current project, if you don't do it earlier :) Thanks for the reply.
