20000804: LDM modifications for Unidata-Wisconsin imagery

Wayne,

You can use the notifyme command to check what products your upstream
is receiving:

notifyme -v -l - -o 3600 -f MCIDAS -h grayskies.atmos.washington.edu

It appears that currently, that machine is not receiving any MCIDAS products.
This should not have anything to do with the message below.

>> If the change Gilbert made is in how he requests the imagery (i.e., a
>> modification of the MCIDAS request line in his ldmd.conf files), and if
>> you have not updated your ldmd.conf request line and have not installed
>> the new ldm-mcidas PNG compressed image decoder, pnga2area, you could
>> find yourself getting no Unidata-Wisconsin images.
>> 
>> Details:
>> 
>> the ldmd.conf MCIDAS request line for non-leaf node IDD (i.e., relay)
>> sites should look like:
>> 
>> request      MCIDAS  ".*" upstream_feed_machine_name
>> 
>> This enables all images to be sent to the relay.
>> 
>> The request line for IDD leaf nodes can be refined to request only
>> PNG compressed imagery:
>> 
>> request      MCIDAS  "^pnga2area Q[01]" upstream_feed_machine_name
>> 
>> Leaf nodes should only change their MCIDAS request lines if they have
>> installed and configured their pqact.conf files for pnga2area.
>> 
>> Just thought I should stick my 2 cents worth in...
