Tom-

I figured out the problem that you and Ben are having accessing
imagery.  At some point, I changed the AddeImageSelector class
(which gets both images and radar) to make the default user
string be the first 4 characters of the user's name:

getDefault (key, ".user",
System.getProperty("user.name").substring(0,4)));

For ben this fails because his user id is only three characters.
I'm guessing that for your home account, it's something like
"tom", i.e., less than 4 chars.

My bad.  I'll fix the code and make a new idv.jar for
the release on monday.  In the meantime, create a user
account with more than 4 chars. ;-)

Sorry for the problem.  Thanks for the output, it helped.
