I took a brief look at your web site before leaving on travel and was not sure if your organization qualifies as a site that our McIDAS license allows: the educational entities that we typically make McIDAS available to are degree granting institutions, and I am not sure if the CNR grants degrees or not. Because of this, and since I am still on travel and will not be back in my office until November 26, I am CCing the McIDAS Users Group (MUG) at the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The SSEC is the entity that licenses us to distribute McIDAS, so they are the best source of information for who we are allowed to distribute McIDAS. Once again, let me apologize for not being able to get back to you on this matter before now. Cheers, Tom Yoksas -- NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.

From what I know about CNR http://www.cnr.it/sitocnr/Englishversion/AboutCNR.html it does not fit the Unidata site model as a University. The MUG (McIDAS Users'Group) currently has one MUG member at IMAA and until January also had a MUG site at ISAC. We are currently working with different folks at ISAC about rejoining the MUG. Mr iuliani if you would like more information about McIDAS and the MUG please feel free to contact me. Regards, Dee Wade
