Hi John,

Since you note that you were able to download v2009.2 previously, and
since the version numbering scheme for Unidata McIDAS follows a different
convention (e.g., v2009a, v2009b, etc.), it is likely that you previously
downloaded McIDAS directly from SSEC, not Unidata.  Sites that are members
in good standing of SSEC's McIDAS Users Group (MUG) are allowed to access
Unidata McIDAS, but access has to be setup on a user-by-user basis.

I think that you are wanting to download McIDAS from SSEC.  Please check
with the MUG support folks, address@hidden, if you have problems
there.

Cheers,

Tom
