Jimmy,

You are welcome.

re: proper way to run notifyme

OK.  The lack of ouput for MCIDAS products shows that they are not being
received.

The last part of this (the action for lwtoa3 decoding) can be commented out
or removed.  The images in the Unidata-Wisconsin datastream (LDM feed
type MCIDAS) are all PNG compressed.

>In the ldmd.conf file:

This is incorrect.  You should change this to:

request HDS|DDPLUS       ".*"    thelma.ucar.edu
request MCIDAS  "^pnga2area Q[01]"  192.52.106.21

In your example, you are requesting MCIDAS in both 'request' lines.  The
idea is to split off the request for MCIDAS into its own line.

Also, the listing we got looks as though there is a tab character between
'pnga2area' and 'Q[01]'.  There should be a single space character between
these, not a tab.

The best way to test the allow for UCR machines is to run notifyme from
a variety of machines in your shop in the way I first mentioned:

notifyme -vxl- -f MCIDAS -o 3600 -h inti.efis.ucr.ac.cr

If this doesn't work, then your allow line is incorrect and needs to be
fixed.
