No worries.  After registering with our site, there is no restriction on how quickly you have
to download software you are allowed access to.

re: access to McIDAS

I regret to inform you that your organization can not be allowed to download McIDAS from
Unidata.  SSEC (the owners of McIDAS) very recently informed us that we must not distribute
McIDAS outside of WMO Region IV universities.  The reason for this ruling was a concern at SSEC
that McIDAS was being used by sites in South America that should be going directly to the
McIDAS Users Group (MUG) at SSEC for access to the software.  Development and support
of McIDAS at SSEC is funded by money generated from fees for joining the MUG; it is
important for SSEC to have as many MUG members as possible so that McIDAS can thrive.

So, if you want to pursue access to McIDAS, you should contact the McIDAS Users Group
at SSEC:  mug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Please be assured that the denial of access to Unidata McIDAS does NOT affect your receiving
data through the IDD.

> Thank you Tom for all.

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
