[LDM #FGZ-978731]: LDM installation and configuration at USNA

Hi Steve and Bonnie, 

Tom is in China, so I will chime in :)

Please visit:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/ldm/index.jsp

Navigate to "Source Downloads"

This will take you to:

ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/ldm/

Where you will find 6.13.4

If you have not registered with Unidata yet, you will need to do so to 
download..(just an e-mail address)


Hope this helps get you going, if not please let us know :)

Jeff
