Hi Mike, NOTE: I was in the middle of writing this when your follow-up email came in. I will leave what I was writing, so you can see that your sleuthing was in the exact area that I was going to recommend you look at! re: > Ooo, a hidden debug command, nice! Well, it is not actually hidden. The TRACE= keyword is one of the Global Keywords that is defined in the McIDAS-X Users Guide. re: > Attached is the trce file. FYI, the file appeared in the PWD not in MCPATH > (I was in /home/mcidas, which was not in MCPATH). I also didn't find a > DEBUG setting in abinaget.cp, so I hope this captured something insightful. There is apparently either with the names of the Level3 files, or the copy abinaget.cp that you are using does not have the correct extended regular expression that is used to parse the file name. Please check the source code module 'abinaget.cp' and find the definition of EREGEXP. It should look like: const char EREGEXP[] = ".._(ABI|GLM)-((L1b|L[23])-(.{3,5})(F|C|M[12]|AK|HI|PR))-M([346])(_|C.._)G(1[6-9])_s(.{7})(.{6})"; If it does not, it means that your copy of abinaget.cp is not the same as the copy that is running on all of our publicly facing ADDE servers. This is likely the case since I made a comment to you a couple/three days ago that I would put out the latest v2022a snapshot on FTP for you to grab, and I have not yet done that, so you do not have the same code as is running on our public ADDE servers. Let me stick the latest v2020a snapshot out on FTP for you to grab right now... Done. Please grab the current v2020a files, and use the copies of abinadir.cp, abinaget.cp, abinparm.h, abincalb.inc, and kbxscmi.dlm from the new tarball in your test setup. Why did I not stick the files out on FTP before now? I have been waiting for the other site that requested a current release to get back to me that they are ready to do a download, but they have not responded since Monday morning.
