Hi Christian,

re: why point at Plymouth State for RTGINI data

OK, I understand now.  Since Plymouth is in a transition regarding
their support of a remotely accessible ADDE server, you should point to
a different server for the data.  I suggest pointing at adde.ucar.edu
for right now.  If you decided to use adde.ucar.edu, you will need to
do the following at least one time:

DATALOC ADD RTGINI adde.ucar.edu
DATALOC HOST

>But why does aputserv not dying out after a while?

I don't know.  I only offered the idea because I know that Plymouth
is in a transition regarding offering remote ADDE access.

OK.

>Thank you also for the info on mcenv, I will modify the script accordingly!

You can get online help for 'mcenv' using HELP:

help.k mcenv                       <- NOTE that 'mcenv' is in lower case!

>Thanks again.

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
