Hi Bredon, re: > It's been a few days, any estimate on when motherlode will return to > service? motherlode has been worked on extensively, and has been returned to (not yet full) service as motherlode.unidata.ucar.edu. ADDE requests to motherlode.ucar.edu are being 'bent piped' (redirected) to motherlode.unidata.ucar.edu instead of atm.ucar.edu, so your access to the RTWXTEXT dataset should work now. Please let us know if you continue to have problems. re: > Currently, I'm unable to use McIDAS to plot meteograms.

The data for meteorograms come from the RTPTSRC dataset, not RTWXTEXT, so please change your data pointing for RTPTSRC: DATALOC ADD RTPTSRC <alternate ADDE server> Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
