Hi again Gilbert,

In my opinion, nothing.

re:

Sites have always been able to change/fix code in their local installations.
Unidata and NOAA have been prime examples of sites that have made modifications
and enhancements, and a number of the changes/additions were eventually
adopted into the SSEC repository for core McIDAS.

re:
> That's a real shame.

I am of the same sentiment!

Cheers,

Tom
