Jim,
re: -displayVisualMode
I created replacements for three McIDAS-X 2002 routines that allow for
the flag -displayVisualMode specified in ~/.mcidasrc to be passed along
to mcimage upon MCGUI startup. The files that needed modifications
are: mcstart.gui, mcgui.k, and upcguiprocs.tcl.
I rolled the new versions of these routines into the compressed tar
file dispvismode.tar.Z which can be found in the pub/mcidas/src
directory of anonymous FTP on our FTP server, ftp.unidata.ucar.edu.
Here is how to install the new routines:
<login as 'mcidas'>
cd mcidas2002/update
ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu
<user> anonymous
<pass> your full email address
cd pub/mcidas/src
binary
get dispvismode.tar.Z
quit
zcat dispvismode.tar.Z | tar xvf -
cd ../src
rm mcidas
ln mcstart.gui mcidas
rm ~/bin/mcidas
ln mcidas ~/bin
Just to make sure, verify that the copy of mcgui.k, upcguiprocs.tcl, and
mcstart.gui are the same in ~mcidas/bin and ~mcidas/mcidas2002/src:
cd ~mcidas/mcidsa2002/src
ls -alt mcgui.k ~/bin/mcgui.k
ls -alt upcguiprocs.tcl ~/bin/upcguiprocs.tcl
ls -alt mcstart.gui ~/bin/mcstart.gui
If the files are different, the copies in ~/bin must be removed and a
link (hard if ~/bin and ~/mcidas2002/src are on the same file system;
a soft link otherwise) made from the copy in ~/mcidas2002/src and
~mcidas/bin.
Please let me know the results of using the new copies of these files.
Thanks.
Tom

Tom:
The fix that you had me download and install seems to have
done the trick. At least I have not been able to duplicate
the problems that I was having earlier. I guess the real
test will come later in the week when the McIDAS users
test it out.
Thanks for the quick response with the fix. I certainly
appreciate it.
