UNIWISC is the new name for the LDM feedtype MCIDAS.  The datastream
was tagged as MCIDAS many years ago when it was used to feed PC McIDAS
and then McIDAS-OS2 workstations.  Since July of 1999, it has only
carried satellite imagery, and that imagery is usable by all
Unidata-supported application packages (GEMPAK, McIDAS, and MetApps).
We felt that it was time to rename the feed to more accurately describe
its contents/purpose.

For reference, use of MCIDAS to identify the feed still works, but
UNIWISC is the primary name.
