I took a look at this on Saturday, and found the problem.  I put a modified
version of frntdisp.pgm out on our FTP site for yout to grab:

machine:   ftp.unidata.uar.edu
user:      anonymous
pass:      your_full_email_address
directory: pub/mcidas/src
file:      frntdisp.pgm

You will need to FTP this file to your ~mcidas/mcidas<version>/src
directory and remake and reinstall the executable.

<login as 'mcidas'>
cd ~mcidas/mcidas2002/src
ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu
  <user> anonymous
  <pass> address@hidden
  binary
  get frntdisp.pgm
  quit
make frntdisp.k
rm ~/bin/frntdisp.k
ln frntdisp.k ~/bin

Please let me know if you have any problems.

Tom

Thanks Tom!

We'll give it a whirl.

Happy Holidays,
