Jim,

re: GOES-West

Super.  I logged on and uncommented these entries from the GINI ADDE
configuration file.  I am now looking at these images from my machine
at home (ADDE is _very_ cool).

I got those already, thanks

Right.  In McIDAS we distribute a procedure for compositing the
GOES East and West views into a central one.  Most sites actively
using McIDAS are producing these.

re: GOES-West products
>They are now available. You can uncomment the entries.

Again, thanks for the quick update.

If I run into problems, I will try and enlist our system adminstrator
in troubleshooting.

Thanks for the warning.  I will make sure to pay attention to this.

That is exactly what I am looking at.  I guess the alternative is worse
(no teeth).

Again, thanks for your generousity!

Talk to you later.
