Earle,

Its been a long time since we talked.

I guess not :-(

Both McIDAS and the LDM are no longer support on SunOS 4.1.x, so it looks
like you will need to upgrade to Solaris.  The other alternative would be
to load a Unix (e.g. Solaris x86) on a reasonable PC machine (>= 200 Mhz
Pentium with at least 64 MB of RAM (128 is much better) and 8 GB of hard
disk).  Machines much more powerful than this can now be routinely purchased
for less than $1500 US.
