John,

>Inquiry: My users report that they can't get McIDAS to LIST NLDN data with
>NLDNDISP OUT=LIS.  No matter what map or even coordinates are specified it
>always returns that there is no data.  Yet, the same command with OUT=PLO
>works fine and plots the data.  I have reproduced this issue on my workstation
>running McIDAS 7.80 on Solaris8/SPARC.  Here is a debug output:

Thanks for the detailed log output.  I have verified the problem here
on a UPC system running McIDAS-X v2002b, and I think I understand
the problem.  I will let you know when I have developed a fix.
