-This converter is currently being used on WOD05 data, but as soon as the
-WOD09 data is available (data up to 2009), the same program should be
-able to convert those files as well.
+This converter is currently being used on WOD09 data, but the standard
+files generally stop with early 2009 data. There are subsequent additional
+new obs files available from the download site.
</P>
+<P>
+The fractional-time field, and sometimes the day-of-month field in a
+small percentage of the obs have bad values. The program currently
+discards these obs, but it may be possible to recover the original
+good day number and/or time of day. There is a subroutine at the end
+of the <em class="file">wod_to_obs.f90</em> file which contains all
+the reject/accept/correction information for the year, month, day, time
+fields. To accept or correct the times on more obs, edit this subroutine
+and make the necessary changes.
