For the NWS, in concert with FSL, to develop a core set of GFESuite text formatters as an alternative approach to IFPS text product generation providing potential risk reduction for the September 2003 IOC. By providing a core set of standardized local formatters, the number of versions in the field will be minimized while still allowing local customization.
