Hi Paul,

I had a couple of minutes yesterday to logon to weather.cod.edu to see what I 
could
see.  Here are items that jumped out at me (the first comments were from 
yesterday;
newer ones follow after them):

- first, I am guessing that weather.cod.edu is _not_ the machine to be
  logged onto since I do not see McIDAS being executed from the LDM
  that is running there.

  Question:

  - should I be looking at the setup on climate.cod.edu?

- the MCDATA directory for the user 'mcidas' was set to be /workdata.  Since
  this directory does not exist, I think that this is a mistake caused
  by defining environment variables needed by McIDAS in ~mcidas/.bashrc
  and by sourcing ~mcidas/admin/mcidas_env.sh in ~mcidas/.bash_profile

  I suggest that the defines in ~mcidas/.bashrc be removed -- they are
  not needed because of the sourcing of ~mcidas/admin/mcidas_env.sh
  in ~mcidas/.bash_profile.

- VENDOR is defined in ~mcidas/.bash_profile to be '-g77'.  There does
  not appear to be a 'g77' Fortran compiler installed on your machine,
  but there is a 'gfortran' compiler.

Comments from Wednesday, February 9:

- I logged onto climate.cod.edu as 'mcidas' and believe that this
  is where I should have been all along

- when I checked the DATALOC table (DATALOC LIST) I see that RTPTSRC
  was being gotten from adde.ucar.edu.  This reinforces my view that
  climate.cod.edu is the correct machine to be investigating.

- I changed the DATALOC table to point at the locally decoded POINT
  data:

  cd $MCDATA
  dataloc.k ADD RTPTSRC LOCAL-DATA

  I then verified that I can get current data:

sfclist.k: done

So, _if_ you were having problems accessing surface data from the
'mcidas' account previously, it appears that the problem has been
cleared-up.

Questions:

- did you do anything to get the 'mcscour.sh' scouring working
  again from the LDM account on climate?

- are you still seeing problems that you want me to look into,
  or have you figured out and corrected the problem that had
  been there?



Cheers,

Tom
