Hi Mark,

I was looking through the support email inbox and I found the following
question from you.  I thought that I had answered this, but I can not
find the answer in the McIDAS archives.  Please forgive me if I have
either answered this previously or if you never got the original reply.
If you did get a reply earlier, did your problem get resolved?

I would guess that the copy of ROUTE.SYS you are trying to modify does
not have read/write permission for the user you are trying the modification
as.  Please verify two things:

- use 'DMAP ROUTE.SYS' to make sure that you are pointing at the copy
  of ROUTE.SYS that will be used by ldm-mcidas decoders

- you have write permission for that copy of ROUTE.SYS

The ROUTE invocation you were using is correct.  If the file was writable,
you should have modified the table successfully.

Tom,
It was a permissions/group problem.   That should have been obvious but 
I didn't catch it for some reason.  Thanks for the help.
