[IDV #HOP-918258]: Problem with IDV, and can't get access to large swaths of the Unidata website, particularly support areas

Jim,

Thanks for the reply. I don't know why the ancillary attachments did
not come through (perhaps no bundle was attached).

At any rate, you can get 5.0 now, but use it at your own risk.

Please let us know if we can help further.

Best Wishes,

Unidata IDV Support
