Hi Fred,

Just thought I'd drop you a note to let you know that the
GVAR serving on unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu is back up and running.

The problem turned out to be a very strange one indeed: rebuilding
the server executables (gvaradir, gvaraget and gvarnavf) via the
makefile was producing executable code that contained the old
calibration stuff for GOES-15.  This was totally unexpected since
I copied the new calibration module source (and a couple of supporting
files) and told 'make' to replace the object modules in the McIDAS
library with the newly rebuilt ones. It turned out that the 'ar'
(archive manager) routine on unidata2 was not replacing the old modules
in the library as it shoud, it was simply appending the new ones to
the end.  I found this out when I decided to force the issue this
afternoon by deleting the McIDAS and SDI libraries and recreating
them from the object modules that were there.  After linking with
the newly rebuilt libraries, the server 'AGET' module started sending
back non-blank images.

Very weird indeed!

Cheers,

Tom
