Hey Guys and Gals: You all certainly did a nice job on 7.705!!! On or about May 3, our machine cirrus.smsu.edu, host for the Unidata suite, consumed its system disk. So I utilized an underutilized AIX 4.2 box, cumulus.smsu.edu, and downloaded Mcidas 7.705 on Thursday/Friday (May 11). It installed almost flawlessly, and I had it hitting your ADDE server within hours of a final build. First time ever, no consultation from you folks necessary! Outstanding job! The only small problem I had was the makefile in the jpeg subdirectory always wanted to tell me to build jconfig.h, even though ./configure had already done that. I simply commented out the exit command. Thanks again. Bill Dr. William T. Corcoran Geography, Geology, and Planning Southwest Missouri State University 901 S.
