Hi Chris and Fred, A few minutes ago I put Unidata McIDAS-X/-XCD v2017a out in the Downloads area of the Unidata web site for user download. This release supercedes the v2017 release I made on December 4. The biggest change in the official v2017 release and what you grabbed earlier is better support for the GOES-16 imagery that is being distributed in NOAAPort (after the tiles that are being sent are stitched back together into full scenes by Ryan May's ldm-alchemy Python package (available in https://github.com/Unidata)). I will be putting together the full announcement of the distribution tomorrow, but I thought you'd appreciate getting a heads-up now. Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
