We forwarded this request to Jeff Weber.

The user name and password for the McIDAS FTP account has not changed in a year, so you may simply have the wrong one. The correct information is: machine: ftp.unidata.ucar.edu user: umcidas pass: XXXXXX Unidata McIDAS-X 7.7 is not yet available for download, but it should be in the next few days. I see that you are subscribed to the Unidata mcidas-x email list under with the following address: address@hidden If this is correct, you will receive email announcing the availability of Unidata McIDAS-X 7.7 by next week. If this address is not valid, please visit: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailinglist/mailing-list-form.html and unsubscribe the previous, incorrect email address and resubscribe to mcidas-x with your current, correct one. >Dr. Fulker, I will apreciate very much all the help that you can >provide me with this two things for this time. > >Thank you in advance and I hope you can visit us again in the short >time here at the University of Costa Rica. > >Sincerely, JImmy >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >address@hidden Jimmy Mejia F.
