This is definitely the problem that is causing the lack of labeling
on your display.  Exactly why this is happening is a mystery to me
right now.

Would it be possible to be able to logon as you so I can troubleshoot
directly?  If yes, all I would need is your password (with NO reference
to the machine or account).

IMGDISP writes the label.

re:

The error above is the reason.  Why there is this error is not known to
me at this point.

re:

Me too!

I have to believe that something else changed at the same time, OR there is some
other problem with the McIDAS installation on metofis.  FYI: I noticed that
metofis is running the unpatched v2009.  I downloaded the updates needed to 
bring
it up to the current release, v2009e, but have not built them yet.  Perhaps I 
should
do this first?


Cheers,

Tom
