Hi Jim, re: unable to download Unidata McIDAS-X > I checked, and I’m registered with Unidata as an NCSU employee. Perhaps it’s > just the non-EDU thing that is the problem. Yes, only users that used .edu affiliations (and whose email is from the .edu domain) are automatically granted access to Unidata McIDAS-X/XCD. Users at government-related cooperative institutes typically are required to get McIDAS directly from UW/SSEC (SSEC's rules that we are obligated to abide by). Again, I apologize for the hassles in getting McIDAS-X!
