Hi Eric -- I am happy to hear you got it running smoothly. Regarding servers -- the default list is intended for use educational institutions, and most of the data are western hemisphere-centric. In general, any ADDE (McIDAS) server you can get data from will work. In addition, any NetCDF/GRIB/GRIB2 data can be read either locally or from http servers (the latter is kind of slow, though, for GRIB files....and you are probably better off ftp-ing the files to your local machine). I hope that helps! tom On Mon, Mar 23, 2009 at 10:12 AM, Eric Justin Allan <eric_justin_allan@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Ok wow sorry I didn't notice there was a compatibility option for the > IDV installation and the when I tried to find out what was wrong with > the installation for you I used the second option instead to see if the > program would install correctly and presto magico.
