Yes, I now have access to datasets served by your remote ADDE server. By the way, the easiest and recommended way to (re)setup the system entries for the remote server is: <login as 'root'> cd ~mcidas sh ./mcinet2002.sh uninstall mcadde <- McIDAS-X v2002x installed sh ./mcinet2002.sh install mcadde -- or -- sh ./mcinet2002.sh uninstall mcadde <- Upgrading from v2002x to v2003 sh ./mcinet2003.sh install mcadde >I am not getting those errors anymore. Looks like things are working nicely again. Do you have plans of upgrading to v2003 anytime soon? Tom
