This will probably sort itself out as DNS boxes update themselves. No matter for the McIDAS distribution. I FTPed the latest dist. to weather and then FTPed that stuff to climate. >ill get the f2c stuff up in just a few minutes here :) I noticed that you had just installed the f2c stuff, so I cranked up the McIDAS build. It is proceeding quite smoothly (and rapidly). Tom
