Steve,

>A little confusion about 7.7. In the ftp dir unix/770 the WARNING

>but the webpage says it has been.

Not removing the WARNING file was an oversight on my part; I just removed
it.  7.70 was officially released back in December.

>So which is it? Is it in a state where you are offering support for it

>mcidas and ldm etc

7.70 was officially released in December, and I am fully supporting it.

You may want to wait a bit before upgrading your machines to RH 7.1:

o A small problem related to the LDM and 7.1 was recently found at
  Northern Illinois.  I believe that Anne Wilson is planning on doing
  a small upgrade to the LDM to get around the problem in the near
  future (exactly when, I can't tell you).

o I will be putting out and addendum for McIDAS-X 7.7 as soon as I can
  find and fix a bug in the Fkey menu system (related to selection of
  X visuals).

>thanks

Sorry for the oversight wrt WARNING...

Tom
