Yes, other divisions do use the LDM to do the sorts of things that you covered above. RAL, in particular, uses the LDM extensively to support their projects. You can get a quick view of the folks using the LDM and reporting real-time statistics about their use of the LDM back to us in: Unidata HomePage http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Projects -> Internet Data Distribution https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/index.html#idd IDD Current Operational Status http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idd/rtstats/ Statistics by Host https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/siteindex Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
