[McIDAS #JNJ-102628]: Need Mcidas 2007b upgrade

Hi Fred,

re:
> NESDIS recently sent out the message of the upcoming change in the
> Meteosat data change scheduled to take place May 5.  It requires the

> Unidata?

It will be soon.  I am nearly finished incorporating SSEC v2005b changes
in the Unidata release.  As soon as it is done and tested on a couple of
different systems, I will release a new addendum, Unidata v2007i.

No, sorry.  We have been trying to move away from hardcopy...
