Michael,

>CTP.BAT, OZONE.BAT, CAPE.BAT, LI.BAT, SST.BAT all show up with errors reading 
>the file but the BATs for the GOES images work fine.

The routing table entries for the CIMSS products (CTP, OZONE, CAPE, LI, and
SST) had entries allowing one to run ROUTE PostProcess BATCH files.  These
BATCH files are not provided with the distribution.  If you want to do
PostProcessing on these files, it is your job to create the BATCH files
and put them in the ~mcidas/data directory.  The error indications you
note from ROUTEPP.LOG can be ignored.

>That's right from our $MCLOG. Let me know what you think.

This looks normal to me.  It also indicates that the compositing of GOES-East
and GOES-West is being done.  Your original email noted that this was not
being done.  If you are unable to look at the composited images, then
there is some other problem.

What is the result of the following:

<start a McIDAS-X session as 'mcidas'>

ROUTE LIST C

(please send in the listing)

This would have to be the case given that compositing PostProcessing is
working (the NORTMAPR and GOESCOMP lines from ROUTEPP.LOG indicate this).

>Also we are running Solaris 8 here, not Linux.

Solaris 8 on what platform: SPARC or i86pc?

So, the question is what is not working for you?
