[McIDAS #UHH-692431]: ADDE image server error messages

Hi Don,

re:

Sure.  Here are the messages sent when no images meet the selection criteria:

nexradir.cp - There are no images that meet the selection criteria
giniadir.cp - There are no images that meet the selection criteria
nowradir.c  - There are no images that meet the selection criteria

That's it for the servers that I authored.  As you can see, my messages are,
at least, consistent :-)

A lot of the standard McIDAS and XRD servers also use a standard message:

nssxadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
airsadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
airxadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
amrradir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
amseadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
amsradir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
ashxadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
catgadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
kalpadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
maaaadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
maaadir.cp  - No images satisfy selection criteria
maadir.cp   - No images satisfy selection criteria
mod3adir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
mod4adir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
mod8adir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
modcadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
modiadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
modladir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
modradir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
modsadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
modvadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
modxadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
nssxadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
sminadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria
tminadir.cp - No images satisfy selection criteria

So, the question is if I should change the message used in the
three servers that I wrote?

Cheers,

Tom
