Hi Teddy,

Just so you know: I drove your email into our inquiry tracking system
so that the IDV developers would have access to it -- they are much
more likely to give you the correct answer than I :-)

Excellent!  We always love to hear success stories!!

Hmm...

re:

We will take a look at the bundle (.xidv file) you attached to see if
anything jumps out at us.

This is great!  Kudos go a long way to reassuring the developers that
all of their hard work is totally worth it!!

Sounds good.  Yuan (Unidata IDV lead), Julien (Unidata IDV developer) and I
will be in Miami on 16-21 this month; we are putting on a two-day IDV/RAMADDA 
training
session with Brian Mapes.  Hopefully we can get together for dinner one of
the evenings that we will be there. :

- we are scheduled to arrive in Miami on the evening of Wednesday, April 16
- we will be checking out the lab in which the IDV training will be held
  on Thursday the 17th
- the two-day training will be full days on Friday and Saturday
- Yuan and I will be driving down to check out the Keys on Sunday morning;
  we have booked rooms in Marathon for Saturday night
- we head back to Boulder on the afternoon of Monday, April 21

I hope you are around during this period!

Cheers,

Tom
