Yes, McIDAS is still available.  The only reason I can think of that
would prevent you from being immediately able to download McIDAS is
you not having specified your affiliation or not having specified it
as in a degree granting university when you registered with our website.

Question:

- what is the email address you used when you registered with our site?

If it is not an '.edu', that could also prevent your immediate access
to McIDAS.  If this is the cause of your being denied access, we will
rectify the situation by adding you to the list of users/sites allowed
access to the package.

re:
> Thank you....Alan Stewart

I apologize for the hassles!

Cheers,

Tom
