If you run into problems, please don't hesitate to contact support or send a message to idvusers (after checking the FAQ and Known Problems pages). Not all errors are user induced. For example, your other support inquiry about an error from the satellite chooser turned out to be a serious bug deep in the code. You were the first to tickle it. The problem was caused by incorrect handling of the band information for sounder data. We are working on testing the fix now, but still have some questions about how we are handling the sounder data. For now, I would avoid using that. >Have you heard the joke: "If a tree falls in the forest and there's no >man there to hear it, ........ is he still wrong!" No, but I like it. >Incidentally, I've gotten several really useful suggestions for how to >get the IDV going for the students in my atmospheric physics class. You are one of the first to use the idvusers list as it was meant to be used and I'm glad you got responses. Both Tom and Bill will be good sources of information. Also, if you have a bright, interested student, they can be a good source of help. >Laney >College of Charleston Don Murray NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
