Bill,

OK, so I am back to being mystified.  It would really be useful if
I could login to the same machine as you in your account as you
to really check this out.  Again, my tests here indicates that
the current grdimage.pgm in 7.613 works correctly.

OK.

The question is why it didn't work.  Your comment about having
to do a REDIRECT ADD tells me that there is probably a copy of
modgen.st in a MCPATH directory that does not have the correct
permissions that would allow the particular user to use/write
it.

We are doing no extra ingestion for McIDAS GRIDs, so the reason
we have more than you must be related to your ability to ingest
them through the IDD or the XCD GRID file decoding setup on
your machine.

I had a few, minor problems, but I can't recall exactly what
they are right now; sorry.

Yes, but I have so little time lately that I can not give
them the time that they deserve.  Workshops are coming up soon
and I am traveling to Wisconsin for the McIDAS User's Group
meeting on Saturday.
