No.  The GOESEAST dataset is only available on one server.

You would need to:

- copy ADDEIMAGE.CORE to ~mcidas/workdata (if you are doing this as 'mcidas',
  otherwise copy it to your ~/mcidas/data directory)
- edit the copy of ADDEIMAGE.CORE and set display defaults for the various
  dataset descriptors from the group G8-GHCC.  This may be hard for
  datasets containing polar orbiter data.  It should be easy for G8-GHCC
- EXIT your McIDAS/MCGUI session and start a new one

>Thanks again!

No worries.
