>Thank you for you recent help in obtaining the McIDAS software.
>We appear to have it up and running on my Linux pc.

Very good.  I trust all went smoothly.

>Now all

This is not suprising.  The U of Mich was never really a big McIDAS user.

>can you give me
>the user name and password that will allow me to retrieve files
>from the Unidata-Wisconsin Datastream Archives?
