Tony,

If all you are interested in is getting the imagery, then you do not need
McIDAS-X to do so. Even though Georgia Tech is licensed for McIDAS-X
through Unidata, I don't believe that it has been used there for a number
of years.
As far as getting the imagery in the Unidata-Wisconsin datastream, you
are already receiving them. The following LDM notifyme command verifies
this:
%notifyme -vxl- -f MCIDAS -o 3600 -h louisxiv.eas.gatech.edu

Also, it looks like you have already downloaded the ldm-mcidas package that
contains the decoder for the imagery in the Unidata-Wisconsin (LDM feed type
MCIDAS) datastream:
Mon Oct 2 08:53:43 2000 20 engine-no9.gtri.gatech.edu 2928103
/export/dist/ftp/pub/binary/linux_2.2-i686/ldm-mcidas-7.6.4.tar.Z b _ o a
IEUser@ ftp 0 * c
So, are you looking for instructions on how to setup your LDM to decode
the images? If so, please review the information under:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/mcidd/ldm-mcidas_info.html
>Thanks,
If you really do want to get Unidata McIDAS-X, I will be happy to send
you the access information. Please let me know.
