Bill,

>Are you still up for upgrading McIDAS, LDM and Gempak?

I can upgrade McIDAS and LDM, but not GEMPAK.  Like I said in my
previous email (that you attached below), GEMPAK is available in
binary form so it should be easy to install for someone at Valparaiso.

The rest of this week is most likely out, but next week looks open.

So, you will want to do the LDM and McIDAS installations after your
Solaris upgrade?
