Moody" <address@hidden> >Organization: University of Virginia >Keywords: 199911182049.NAA16853 Jennie, In my previous message, I promised: >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 figured out the password for 'mcidas' and: o logged in o changed /home/mcidas/.mcenv's MCDATA to be: MCDATA=/home/mcidas/uvaworkdata o pointed my McIDAS session for RTIMAGES to windfall: DATALOC ADD RTIMAGES windfall.evsc.virginia.edu o checked to see if I could get information back (like I could not earlier today): DSINFO IMAGE RTIMAGES Name NumPos Content ------------ ------ -------------------------------------- ANTARCTIC 10 Antarctic IR Composite EDFLOATER-I 10 Educational Floater EDFLOATER-II 10 Educational Floater II GE-IR 10 GOES-East North America IR GE-IRTOPO 10 GOES-East IR/TOPO Composite GE-VIS 10 GOES-East North America VIS GE-VISTOPO 10 GOES-East VIS/TOPO Composite GE-WV 10 GOES-East North America H2O GEW-IR 10 GOES-East/West IR Composite GEW-IRTOPO 10 GOES-East/West IR/TOPO Composite GEW-VIS 10 GOES-East/West VIS Composite GEW-VISTOPO 10 GOES-East/West VIS/TOPO Composite GEW-WV 10 GOES-East/West H2O Composite GW-IR 10 GOES-West Western US IR GW-IRTOPO 10 GOES-West IR/TOPO Composite GW-VIS 10 GOES-West Western US VIS GW-VISTOPO 10 GOES-West VIS/TOPO Composite GW-WV 10 GOES-West Western US H2O MDR 10 Manually Digitized Radar MDRTOPO 10 MDR/TOPO Composite MOLL-IR 10 Mollweide Composite IR MOLL-IRTOPO 10 Mollweide IR/TOPO Composite MOLL-WV 10 Mollweide Composite H2O RESFLOATER 10 Research Floater DSINFO -- done o so far, so good. Next, I tried loading an image: IMGDISP RTIMAGES/GW-IR STA=KDEN MAG=2 EU=IMAGE Beginning Image Data transfer, bytes= 81140 IMGDISP: loaded frame 1 IMGDISP: done EU: Restoring IMAGE.ET to frame(s)= 1 EU: Done So, it looks like the only mod I had to make was to MCDATA in ~mcidas/.mcenv. Since I havn't read all of the interactions you had with Don, I don't know yet whether or not I have fixed all that was needed or not. Please let me know tomorrow. BTW, Australia was _fantastic_!!!!
