MCPATH Format
The MCPATH variable specifies, in order of precedence, the directories McIDAS-X searches when looking for data and help files. A colon (:) separates each directory.
For example, if MCPATH is set to:
/experiment:/home/fred/mcidas/data:~mcidas/data:~mcidas/help
|
and McIDAS-X wants to read from a data file, it first looks for the file in /experiment. If the file is not there, McIDAS-X checks for the file in /home/fred/mcidas/data, then ~mcidas/data, and finally ~mcidas/help. If the file is not located in any of the directories, the system outputs a message saying the file was not found.
