Leonard,

The problem wasn't lack of disk space in the original HOME directory
for McIDAS, it was a limit on amount of disk allowed to be used.   Has
this changed?  I should know this from looking, but I have been unable
to logon to s418 today.  I get the following:

Accounting files are currently being updated.  Please try back in a few minutes.

Thanks...

I believe that I have the correct login information, but I may be mistaken.

Hi Tom,

It is already 5:40 here in Michigan.  I hope Leonard Peirce, our Sun
network manager at WMU will have the s418 fixed by Monday.

My colleague, Charles "Jay" Emerson  and I are going to enroll for the
UNIDATA Fall Workshop.  He has a good knowledge of Unix administration and
probably will keep our lab going more effectively.  Have a great
weekend!

Have a nice weekend!
