[McIDAS #VCB-414258]: about Mcidas software ...

Hi Rodrigo,

Our license to distribute McIDAS-X from the owners of the software,
the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) of the University
of Wisconsin at Madison (UW) require us to verify that non-'.edu'
users adhere to the restrictions of use and redistribution of
McIDAS-X.  Since I know you/UChile, I know that you already meet
the criteria for use.

I just added you (address@hidden) to the list of non-'.edu'
sites that are allowed to download Unidata McIDAS-X.  If you logon
to our website with this email address, you should now be able to
download Unidata McIDAS-X.  If you logon using a different
email address, please let me know what that address is so I can
add an allow for it.

No, not at all.  We are required to control access to Unidata
McIDAS-X for non-'.edu' users (i.e., users not in U.S.
universities).  Your inability to get access to the distribution
was a result of your email address not being included in that
"exceptions" list.  As I noted above, you should now be able to
download Unidata McIDAS-X.

Note:

- I am in the process of updating the Unidata McIDAS-X release
  with new code modifications, so you may want to wait for
  a couple of days before downloading the distribution.
  If you can not wait, now worries.  You can always install
  an update that will bring your distribution up to date
  later.

Cheers,

Tom
