Mike,

OK.  I just logged in.

Right off, I am finding a number of problems some of which may be
related to your NLDN queries.

Here goes:

o you are not scouring your MDXX files before they get to be 10 days
  old.  I can tell this by doing a long list of them in /data3/mcidas:

vortex:/data3/mcidas>ls -l MDXX*

  This listing tells me something else.  The last time the majority
  of the MDXX files were written was last June, and they were created
  from data in the Unidata-Wisconsin datastream.  I would recommend
  the following action:

  o stop your LDM
  o delete all of the MD files on your system
  o setup scouring of the McIDAS data files
  o restart your LDM

Before I go any further, I want to know if you want me to make these changes.
What I can do is make all of the modifications that I see need to be made
and describe them to you in a blow-by-blow email.  Please let me know.

Tom
