Hi again David,

After looking at the code in plotsub.for more closely, I see that the
call to cblank can be changed to cleanc.  Given this, I suggest the
following alternative to the makefile modifications I sent previously:

<as 'mcidas'>

- back out of any changes you may have made to 'makefile'

- edit plotsub.for and:

change:

      call cblank(cstr)

to:

      call cleanc(cstr)

- continue the McIDAS build:

make

OR

make mcx

No worries.

Hmm... this will be tougher for me to figure out as I have not seen it
before.

Is there any chance I could login to your machine as 'mcidas' so I could
troubleshoot the problem there?

re:
> Sorry to bug you again... I hope there won't be many more roadblocks, if any!

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
