Hi Tony-

First, your message came in formatted as HTML. If you could send
it as plain text, that would help.  Now about your questions:


>IDV team:

If you resize the Data Source Selector window, do the other tabs appear?
It sounds like a repaint problem.

If you can only use the file selector, it probably doesn't know what's
appropriate.  Unfortunately, I have no way to test that since we don't
have a SuSE Linux machine.

You could use Samba to mount the LDM directory on your server from
the windows machine or use NFS from other Linux machines.  I mount
the LDM directory on our data server from my windows box as the
I: drive and then access the Level II data from there.
