So Tony,

You have links in your $SAT directory that are 5 days old (Jan 27).
That means that you need to get the nsat_links crontab action
revived to generate the links to the current McIDAS data.
This script was probably in the $NAWIPS/bin/scripts directory
that Don had previously worked with you on.  Do you still have
this file from the previous distribution you were running,
or do we need to create a new one? Or has the crontab entry been disabled?
