Yes, this is OK. I am curious, however. Are you downloading the HTML pages that I make available in the unix/770/docs subdirectories or will you be putting a link that points to the documentation that I maintain here at the UPC? The latter is the best option since the documentation here contains information about all of the changes I make to Unidata McIDAS; the HTML stuff in the unix/770/docs subdirectories does not. >Thanks, Later...
