Hi Harry,
The NWS has promised to provide a 6-month notice of termination. When the
Difax service is terminated (which will happen), it will include the Web site
too. Apparently, NCEP is the only NWS group still using Difax so they are
being encouraged to make the transition, due to budgets, etc. The Users
Committee has been grappling with this issue for a LONG time. One solution is
that the Univ of WI is producing Difax-type charts using GEMPAK scripts. They
are willing to make those available to anybody wanting them, via the IDD.
Hope this helps.
Linda

The equivalent FTP site is:
