Gilbert,

re: a Unidata site actively using ADDE
>Does that mean that others aren't?

Yes, it unfortunately does.  Sites are only slowly catching on to how
cool ADDE really is.

re: fostering ADDE exchange at sites
>I'm on! Anybody can get to weather.admin.niu.edu.

Super.

re: need to restrict access to NLDN lightning and WSI NIDS datasets
>Yep!

reverse name lookup)

If the LDM is running correctly on your machine, then all should be well.

Yes, if you promise to not overdo the access.  You also have to remember
that access to the machine is at no time guaranteed.  It can come and
go withoug warning.

re: test of GINI access from our server
>DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Zzzzt, zzzzt! Ah, sparks from the keyboard!

I'm glad you like this.  I will be releasing the GINI subserver code
coming up, but there are just not that many sites that have GINI imagery
to access.

This is lesser in priority than the level 1B stuff and ahead of the DMSP
work.  UCAR/JOSS is very interested in getting a Terascan to McIDAS
converter working.  I am very interested in getting our sites access
to more and more imagery from more and more sources (even if they are
redundant).

Things keep moving along.  Later...
