Hi Luis,

Can you remind me of a couple of things related to your problem:

- what ADDE server you are accessing for the RTWXTEXT data

- the McIDAS command (full command invocation please) being run that is
  failing

You determine the ADDE server you are requesting RTWXTEXT data from
as follows:

DATALOC LIST RTWXTEXT

I seem to remember that you are running McIDAS commands from within Unix
shell scripts.  If this is the case, clipping out the portion of the script
that is failing and sending it along would be very helpful.

Finally, if your McIDAS session/script is trying to use atm.geo.nsf.gov
for the RTWXTEXT data, I can tell you why the invocation is failing:
atm.geo.nsf.gov went down with a hardware problem about a week and a
half ago, and we have been struggling to get the machine back up every since.
I announced this outage to the address@hidden email list, but
I just saw that you are not subscribed to this list.  It might be a good
idea for you or someone else at UPRM to subscribe to ldm-users so you
won't miss outage announcements in the future.  You can (un)subscribe
to any Unidata-maintained email list online at:

Cheers,
