Hi Christian,

I'm sorry to have taken so long to get to your email, but it got
buried in our support inbox.

>Finally, I've got a little bit of time to try to fix my McIDAS config.

OK.

>I added scouring of the data, and here is the list of files currently 
>(in attached text file):

I looked through the list of data files you sent, and I see that there
are no MDXX files.  This tells me that the XCD data decoding is not
setup correctly.

Is there a chance I could get onto your system (logins as 'mcidas' and
'ldm') to see what may be going on?

re: using LSSERVE.BAT to setup ADDE datasets

>I did all of this, but it is still not working, the command:

The reason is that no MDXX files are being created.  This is where
need to focus our attentions.

As soon as we have the XCD decoders working properly, you should be able
to access your own, local McIDAS data files.
