[McIDAS #UFO-107919]: IMGCOPY and netcdf

Hi Gautam,

re: write permission in output diretory

OK.  I had to ask since I have seen others tripped up by unexpected
write permission problems...

This says it all; you have no REDIRECTs in place.

Are you running as you or as 'mcidas'?

OK.

No, the version of netCDF that McIDAS uses is the one that is sent
in the distribution, and McIDAS commands like 'ncdfaput' (the ADDE server
that is actually writing the output netCDF file) are statically
linked as far as the netCDF library is concerned.  So, your loading of
new versions of netCDF should have no bearing on this problem... I think.

Since I can not reproduce the problem you are seeing here, can I logon
to your machine to run some tests?


Cheers,

Tom
