I think that the problem is a direct cause of the existence of files in your mcidas/data directory that should only exist in your ~/.mctmp/xxx directory(ies). re: check for files that should not be there >I think you've hit upon the bug with the DMAP stuff.

A lot of these files are archaic. The are remnants of pre 7.x McIDAS invocations that were terminated ungracefully.

After deleting them with a Unix 'rm' invocation, rerun the DMAP incocations for the various patterns (e.g., TERMCHAR, UCTERM, FRNV, FRNEXP, etc.) to find out if there are any other instances of them in your MCPATH set of directories. If you find more, delete those (except, of course, for the MDXX files which are data files). >Again, thanks for any help with this wonderfully arcane software. Yes, McIDAS is arcane, but it is getting better. I think that a number of the problems that you encountered were being caused by files that have been caused by ungraceful exits of McIDAS over the years. Tom
