OK.

I am not sure why you tried switching to the C-shell.  I just logged in
and see that the shell is still set as BASH.  Nonetheless, the environment
file you should source as 'mcidas' is ~mcidas/admin/mcidas_env.csh, not
~mcidas/admin/user_env.csh.  user_env.csh is for users other than 'mcidas'.

What happens when you run 'mcidas' instead of 'mcidasx'?  Better
yet, tell me what happens when you run:

mcidas -config

as 'mcidas'.  Please send all textual output if this does not work.

> I'm not sure what to try next.

I need to be able to _see_ what is happening to properly advise you.

I tried to connect to the Vine server using 'vncviewer' from my Fedora
Core 5 Linux machine using:

vncviewer buran.ggy.uga.edu:0

I was prompted for a password, but I did not have the one that it was
looking for.  Can you provide me the appropriate information?

Cheers,

Tom
