Hi Ray-

>Can National Weather Service offices download and use the IDV software, 
>and if so, what do I need to do to proceed?

The IDV is freely available to anyone.  You just need to register
on our site and log in before downloading it.  From the IDV
homepage (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu), click on the 
"Create an Account" link in the Login box on the right side
of the page to create the account and log in.  Once you are
logged in, you can download the IDV through the Downloads link.

See the section of the IDV user's guide on downloading and
running the IDV:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/idv/docs/userguide/Starting.html

Be advised that we will be putting out a new release (1.2) this
Friday, so you might want to wait until that is available.
