Mynul,

The LDM is a standalone package that is used by a variety of folks that
are not in the Unidata university community (e.g., governments of South
Korea, Spain, Brazil, etc.).  It does not include any decoders since
these are items that can be site-specific.

The ldm-mcidas decoders (decoders for data in the IDD UNIWISC, NLDN,
and FSL2 datastreams) are contained in the ldm-mcidas package.  Here is
the URL for the ldm-mcidas homepage:

The decoders that are contained in McIDAS-XCD are part of the
McIDAS-XCD package, which is, in turn, part of Unidata McIDAS-X.  The
Unidata McIDAS web pages have detailed instructions on setting up the
LDM to run McIDAS-XCD decoding:

No worries.
