>From: Unidata Support <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Organization: Unidata Program Center/UCAR >Keywords: Unidata McIDAS-X web FTP Unidata McIDAS-X Users, A jumbo addendum to Unidata McIDAS, Version 7.804, is now available for download. The 7.804 addendum contains all Unidata modifications and additions to Unidata McIDAS 7.80 since its initial release in August in addition to all SSEC 7.8 addenda. Highlights of the changes 7.804 include: o sites can now use the GNU Fortran compiler, g77, in combination with the GNU C compiler, gcc, to build McIDAS-X and McIDAS-XCD. Builds using the gcc/g77 combination have been extensively tested on Sun Solaris platforms (SPARC and x86). Other Unidata-supported platforms have been tested for McIDAS-X, but not for McIDAS-XCD. NOTE: Sites that have vendor-supplied compilers available are advised to continue using those compilers. Performance tests conducted in the past by SSEC indicated that code compiled with gcc may not perform as well as code compiled using vendor compilers. o a number of new map outline files have been included. These provide support for US highways and interstates; US state roads; US railines; US canals; US and world rivers; major world lakes; much higher resolution US counties; and global tectonic plate boundaries. o new, higher resolution versions of the US State, County, and Zone map files (USSTATE.MAP, USCOUNTY.MAN, and USZONE.MAP) o 37 new grayscale and color image enhancements. These were created from definitions available on the CSU/CIRA site: http://www.cira.colostate.edu/ramm/visit/istpds/awips/lookup.html o augmented functionality in the MCGUI interface which includes new ADDE server sites for MCGUI-supported datasets; access to the new image enhancements; saving and restoring frame contents in McIDAS PIX format; and an interface to the AREA file dump routine, AXFORM. o numerous bugfixes and program enhancements for -X and -XCD functions More detailed information on the modifications made in 7.804 and instructions for its installation can be found in the Unidata McIDAS-X Addenda pages: Unidata McIDAS Addenda Information http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/780/mcx/addenda.html -X Addendum #4/-XCD #1 http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/780/mcx/addendum_011222.html Sites wishing to try out builds using GNU Fortran should review: Unidata McIDAS-X Hot Topics http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/780/hottopics.html Notes and Warnings http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/780/mcx/warnings_mcx.html for information on Unix environment variables that must be set and modifications to the McIDAS makefile that must be made to specify use of g77.
