I did receive all those e-mails about file type >changes. I am not the right person to play with PNG files, etc. However, >our new faculty member from Uni. of Wisconsin, Dr. Leigh Orf is pretty good at >UNIX. And he said he would look into it to see what he can do. OK. The work to be done in the transition is pretty straightforward. >If he is too >busy or something, is it possible to ask you to log on our Sun workstation and >do something for us? Yes, I can do this. The transition is easy, so it should only take me about 15 minutes. I will, however, need logins as both 'ldm' and 'mcidas' to do the work. If anything is seriously miss on the machine running the LDM, I will need 'root' access also, but we can cross that bridge when we get there. >Of course, I need to talk to UNCA Computer Center people >to make sure it is OK first. No problem, but please don't let this slip until Friday! >Our McIDAS-X is running on SUSE 2.0 (I think), >do we need to change anything on McIDAS-X PC's for PNG files? No, the output of the decoding process is the standard McIDAS AREA files so McIDAS (and GEMPAK/GARP/NMAP) doesn't (don't) have to be changed. >I really appreciate your concerns, and I hope you and Don are doing well. Everything is going pretty well here. Thanks for asking. >Best regards, Tom >From address@hidden Tue Sep 12 06:02:38 2000 >Subject: Re: 20000911: Unidata-Wisconsin (MCIDAS) images broadcast cessation >20000915 Tom, Thank you for willing to help us out. It will ONLY take you 15 minutes? Boy, it will take me forever, :0). If I need you, I will let you know. Thanks again, and have a nice day. Alex
