Subject: SDI version 2001aug24 now available

SSEC Desktop Ingestor (SDI) Administrator, 

SDI version 2001aug24 was recently added to the MUG Web Site
(http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mug/). See the SDI page by clicking "SSEC
Desktop Ingestor (SDI)" in the Software section along the left side of
the main page. From the SDI page you can select version 2001aug24 or any
other available version of SDI software. 

Read the section below that corresponds to your type of ingestor (GMS,
GVAR, Meteosat, NOAAPORT, or POES) to determine if version
2001aug24 affects your ingestor and if/when SSEC recommends that
you install it. 

I. GMS Ingestors
----------------
Version 2001aug24 does not contain updates to the GMS ingestor.
The most recent GMS changes appeared in version 2000jun06, so your
ingestor is up-to-date if it's running version 2000jun06 or later. 

II. GVAR Ingestors
------------------
Version 2001aug24 contains updates to the GVAR ingestor to allow the
IMGPROBE command to work with GOES-12 data and to make the BAND keyword
in the IMG* commands work as expected with GOES-12. Therefore, SSEC
recommends that you install version 2001aug24 as soon as possible on
your GVAR ingestors. 

III. Meteosat Ingestors
-----------------------
Version 2001aug24 does not contain updates to the Meteosat ingestor. 
The most recent Meteosat ingestor changes appeared in version 
1999nov29, so your ingestor is up-to-date if it's running version
1999nov29 or later.

IV. NOAAPORT Ingestors
----------------------
Version 2001aug24 does not contain updates to the NOAAPORT ingestor.
The most recent NOAAPORT ingestor changes appeared in version 
2000jun06, so your ingestor is up-to-date if it's running version
2000jun06 or later. 

V. POES Ingestors
-----------------
Version 2001aug24 does not contain updates to the POES ingestor.
The most recent POES ingestor changes appeared in version
2001jul20, so your ingestor is up-to-date if it's running version
2001jul20 or later.
