I logged onto windfall before leaving this evening (as mccode) and took
a quick look at ~mcidas/.mcenv.  What I saw was that MCDATA is defined
as /home/mcidas/workdata.  I believe that what you are attempting to do
is copy the setup that I use here at Unidata.  This means that you
should be pointing MCDATA at a directory whose contents do not change
from distribution to distribution.  To me this means that MCDATA should
be defined to be /home/mcidas/uvaworkdata, not /home/mcidas/workdata
since /home/mcidas/workdata is a pointer to a directory that is getting
changed when you cut over from one distribution to the next.  If I had
had (our could find) the login as 'mcidas', I would have changed this
and verified whether or not the ADDE remote server would work or not.

I don't think that you will have to redefine the setup for the ADDE
remote server every time you do an installation.

OK.  I will be looking for the 'mcidas' login some more tonight.  If I
find it, I will login and change .mcenv and test the ADDE remote server
access.

By the way, I thought that we got all of this done while we were on the
phone before I left for Australia.  Am I dreaming or what?
