>From: Eirh-Yu Hsie <address@hidden> >Organization: CU/CIRES >Keywords: 200302071859.h17IxF602516 McIDAS-XCD DMSYN Hsie, >What is the status of DMSYN decoder? I have put an update file in the unix/2002/bugfix directory of passworded FTP for Unidata McIDAS. The file, mcupdate.tar.Z, contains the v2002b addendum code which includes the mods for dmsyn.k. I have not, however, updated the McIDAS-X distribution file. To update your McIDAS-X v2002a distribution, do the following: <login as 'mcidas'> cd mcidas2002/update ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu <user> umcidas <pass> XXXXXX cd unix/2002/bugfix binary get mcupdate.tar.Z get mcunpack quit ./mcunpack cd ../src make all make install.all It is best for the McIDAS-XCD routines to not be active when you do the install, so I recommend stopping your LDM during the 'make install.all' step.
