Rosie, Dee, Jay, and Jerry, Further update on problems seen serving the GOES-East/West datasets off of unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu after I upgraded McIDAS from a 32-bit build of v2006 to a 64-bit build of v2007: It seems that the gvaradir/gvaraget/gvarnavf problem expierenced earlier on unidata2 is related to the 64-bit build of McIDAS-X v2007.

My hunch is that there must be one or more mistyped varibles used in source for gvaradir/gvaraget/gvarnavf or one or more of the procedures they call. Anybody have any ideas of where to start looking?
