19990105: ldm & Gempak question

Mark,

I provided an update to areaInfo back in July when the
GOES-10 switch was made so that the program would
recognize the new satellite:
see...

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/gembud-list/1213

I have reposted the source for building areaInfo under
~gbuddy/nawips-5.4/patches/areainfo.tar.Z

The Linux binary through patch8 is at:
~gbuddy/nawips-5.4/binary/linux/gempak5.4_pl8_linux.tar.gz

Regarding WSI data reception, that data is sent directly from
WSI, and therefore, if you change your LDM host, you must
inform WSI so that they can send it to your new machine.
Also, be sure your ldmd.conf file has the appropriate
accept entry for receiving the data from WSI:
accept  WSI     .*      ^[a-z].*\.uni\.wsicorp\.com$
