Hi Mike,

Good news (for me, at least): I found and fixed a bug in the SCMI calibration
routine that I wrote.  I also made small modifications to SSEC core routines
that were needed for full listings using IMGPROBE (mcgetscantime.for) and to
implement a fix that was made at SSEC but has not been released yet 
(abincalb.inc).

The change in the SCMI calibration routine corrects a BONEHEAD mistake that
I made in a section that is only exercised when an SCMI image has been
IMGCOPYed to an AREA dataset and then interrogated by IMGPROBE.

I have done some simple tests of IMGCOPYing NPGOESR full disk images to a local
AREA dataset (MYDATA/IMAGES); IMGDISPed the original and copy into succeeding
frames using the exact same load; drawn maps over both; and IMGPROBEd both
at identical locations to make sure that the values I get in the original
and copy are the same.

I cut a new McIDAS-X distribution, v2017a, and put it out in the Downloads
area of our web site.  I have also created an update file, mcupdate.tar.gz,
that can be used to update an existing v2017 installation by:

<as 'mcidas>
cd ~mcidas/mcidas2017/update
-- download mcupdate.tar.gz
-- download mcupdate
-- make sure that mcupdate is executable
./mcupdate

cd ../src
make && make install

The full distribution tar file, mcidasx2017.tar.gz, contains all of the
updated code, so you can also do:

<as 'mcidas'>
cd mcidas2017/src
make clobber

cd ~mcidas
-- download mcidasx2017.tar.gz
./mcunpack

cd mcidas2017/src
make && make install

Please let me know the results you see after upgrading...

Cheers,

Tom
