Jennie,

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.  All the script does is add the
entries to /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services.  You already have entries
that are almost 100% correct, so why not simply edit the file and then
send a HUP to the inetd process.

I believe that I did the remote ADDE setup for you during one of our
long winded phone conversations a couple of years ago.

re: LSSERVE.BAT and LOCDATA.BAT are local copies created by site representatives

Non-existent where?  In /home/mcidas/data?  They wouldn't exist in
/home/mcadde/data since you would have had to create them there by
copying DSSERVE.BAT and DATALOC.BAT:

cd /home/mcadde/data
cp DSSERVE.BAT LSSERVE.BAT
cp DATALOC.BAT LOCDATA.BAT

<edit, IF necessary, LSSERVE.BAT and LOCDATA.BAT>

re: are you game for me doing the realtime datasets on windfall

OK.

OK, but you now realize that for the remote server, you would have had
to do this as 'mcidas' in the previous setup and as 'mcadde' in the current
setup.  Right!?

Right.

>Anyway, I will happily sit back and be guinea pig.

OK.  Since I don't have root login, you will have to do the /etc/inetd.conf
changes and send the HUP to the inetd process.  Please don't forget, as
this will allow me to test the dataset setup from here.
