Yup, that is what I figured; I would have done the same thing.

OK.  Jim said that he put in a request to TC to configure the ADDE
remote server setup on rci to use his early SSEC McIDAS-X v2015.1
distribution that he updated with the NEXRAD Level III/TDWR server
code modes that I gave him last week.  I just checked the status
of this by displaying and interrogating one of the TR0 files:

Looks like TC made the switch to use of SSEC v2015.1 and that things are now 
working
in the same way as they are for me in Unidata McIDAS-X.

NB: access to a TS0 file (RCI/NCDCS) shows an unexpected error:

IMGDISP RCI/NCDCS ID=DEN STA=DEN EU=WSR-BREF REFRESH='EG;MAP H;BAR'
IMGDISP: done
IMGDISP failed, RC=2


As I noted in one of the emails I sent yesterday (Jim may have been the only
recipient of that email), I was never given an example TS0 file to test.
If Jim or you could put one or more out in anonymous FTP, I will grab
it/them and test here.

re:
> Thanks again!

No worries.  Thanks for hanging in there!

Cheers,

Tom
