Kevin,

Right.  I am in the process of putting together our 7.70 release.

I hope to release this reasonably soon.

I had targeted my release for August 31, but I missed this deadline due
to a number of code changes that were taking more time than I had
anticipated.  I am also revamping all of the McIDAS web pages in
preparation for this release, so things are taking quite a bit of effort.

I see that you are not on the Unidata McIDAS-X email list,
address@hidden.  If you subscribe to this list through:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailinglist/mailing-list-form.html

you will receive my announcement when 7.70 is ready for download.
