  "The enhanced plotter consists of two programs, PLTGEN and PLTSELECT, which are used to generate plot files from surface airways observations. These two programs, along with some modifications to the SAO decoder, provide the following enhancements over previous plotting programs. 1) . Plotting on either the United States or North America map background. 2) Plotting most parameters in their correct station model positions. 3) Plotting single parameters. 4) Highlighting significant weather using the GDM zoom capabilities. 5) Producing additional plots from an SAODATA file quickly. 6) Running the SAO decoder and plotter in a procedure. 7) Using an edited station directory file to reduce clutter"--Summary.
