No. Our license to distribute McIDAS-X/-XCD is, however, limited to educational institutions. Please confirm that your institution, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, is a degree granting institution of higher education. As soon as this is confirmed, we will add you to the list of sites that are allowed to download our distribution of McIDAS. > Or any other websites can obtain this software? If your institution is _not_ a educational institution, you will need to get McIDAS directly from the owners/authors of McIDAS, the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The email you should use to contact SSEC -- if you are not an educational institution -- is address@hidden. > Zhuanshi He / Z.
