Christian,

re: ADDE server setup

This would say that the ~mcidas/mcidas/data directory does not exist, and
it needs to.  The solution is not to make the soft link, but, rather, to
create the ~mcidas/mcidas/data directory (this is the default McIDAS working
directory for the user 'mcadde' (long story)).

>The mcidas / mcadde $HOME is /io/mcidas.

OK, good.  Just make sure that /io/mcidas/mcidas/data exists and is both
readable and writable by both 'mcidas' and 'mcadde'.

>Though, in /io/mcidas/workdata  output from fgrep:
>RESOLV.SRV:N1=ME7,N2=IR1,TYPE=IMAGE,RT=N,K=AREA,R1=1,R2=999999,MASK=/io/ldm/da

>VIS,

This says that the METEOSAT data files are to be found in the
/io/ldm/data/mcidas directory.

>And in /io/mcidas/data output fro, fgrep:
>ADDESITE.TXT:ADDE_ROUTE_ME7=IO.SCA.UQAM.CA
>LOCDATA.BAT:DATALOC ADD ME7 IO.SCA.UQAM.CA

>LSSERVE.BAT:DSSERVE ADD ME7/IR2 AREA TYPE=IMAGE DIRFILE=/io/ldm/data/mcidas/ME
> 7*.ir2.ara "METEOSAT-7 IR2
>LSSERVE.BAT:DSSERVE ADD ME7/VIS AREA TYPE=IMAGE DIRFILE=/io/ldm/data/mcidas/ME
> 7*.vis.ara "METEOSAT-7 VIS

ADDESITE.TXT is the DATALOCation table that can be shared with all McIDAS
users.  LOCDATA.BAT and LSSERVE.BAT are just template BATCH files that can
be used to setup DATALOCations and dataset definitions, respectively.

>In .mcenv in /io/mcidas:
># Bourne/Korn shell '.mcenv' environment variable definitions for the user
># 'mcadde'

># umask
>umask 002

>MCTABLE_WRITE="$MCHOME/mcidas/data/MCTABLE.TXT"
>PATH=${MCGUI}:$PATH
>export MCHOME MCDATA MCPATH MCTABLE_READ MCTABLE_WRITE PATH
>cd $MCDATA

This looks good.

Is there a chance that ~mcidas/mcidas/data existed at one time (like last
week) and got removed?

re: need to have the ~mcidas/mcidas/data directory

>Ok, I didn't realize it from the docs. I will create it then.
