Hi Ray,

>Hi, unable to get the updated Mcidas or the XP version.
>We are unidata members but not an EDU ip address.

McIDAS is the only package supported by Unidata whose distribution is
limited by contractual arrangement with its originator (University of
Wisconsin-Madison/SSEC).  We are allowed to distribute McIDAS to
educational institutions worldwide, and to others under very specific
circumstances (e.g., collaborations that are mutually beneficial,
etc.).

I will need to run your request for McIDAS by SSEC for comment.  Before
doing this, it would be useful to get some references to your
origanization so I can send them along to SSEC (please forgive me if
you have done this in the past).
