Excellent, thanks.

> Please check if this is can suit the purpose to download McIDAS-x,
Your statement is just what was needed!

I have added you (address@hidden) to the list of users/sites allowed
to download McIDAS from Unidata.  Please remember that you will need to
login to our website in order to be allowed access to the package.

>  I will appreciate that you can send me a script to download the GOES data.

I will send you a script suitable for accessing the GOES data off of
our GOES-East/West/South ingest machines later today.  In the meantime
please send me the list of imager bands (wavelength channels) that you
will need for your fire detection algorithm.

Cheers,

Tom
