Hi Bill,

We just found out that the McIDAS-X decoders on adde.ucar.edu (which
is currently pointing to atm.ucar.edu) stopped working several days
ago when the system ran out of shared memory.  I have cleaned up the
problem and restarted the LDM, and data is once again being decoded.

We operate more than one ADDE server where POINT, IMAGE, GRID and
TEXT data can be accessed:

adde.ucar.edu          (currently pointing to atm.ucar.edu to offload the 
machine
                       so we can do an hardware upgrade)
atm.ucar.edu
adde.ssec.wisc.edu
lead.unidata.ucar.edu

Switching to point at one of the other servers should get you going.

Cheers,

Tom
