I have been working on the load of menu defaults here at the UPC and have some mods that I will install on your system before I leave today. I also found a bug in the thermodynamic diagram display, so that will be fixed as well. >A selfish question, How do I make the size of the display frame >larger? I am reading in the html for configuring using .mcidasrc >file (have changed colors back to 64 and works ok) >but am not sure about changing the -f flag for no. & size of frames. You edit .mcidasrc and set the -f flag as: -f address@hidden Where: num - number of frames LIN - number of lines in a frame ELE - number of elements in a frame Try changing: -f 17 (this gives 17 frames of 480 lines by 640 elements) to: -f address@hidden This will give you a session with 17 frames of 600 lines and 800 elements. >I am also planning to install and set up the tutorial stuff as >described on web as learning guide. Good, I'm glad to hear this. >As to how our machines will be set up, I have been thinking that we >would use waldo as our ingest and decode machine. OK, it is mostly setup now. What remains is the gridded data. >Our other terminals (presently os2) will be gradually converted to >mcidasx, but will go to waldo for their data files, Eventually through the McIDAS ADDE commands. ADDE data access amongst machines on a local network has been shown to be faster than access to the actual files by NFS. >just as they now >go to hobbes. We do have at least one other terminal that is a twin >of waldo, in terms of disk space, although not as much ram. Sounds good. What exactly is waldo (RAM, CPU, etc.)? >Your suggestions are welcome as to how you would set it up. What you have indicated so far sounds good to me. I will bounce back to you if/when I have any brainstorms. Tom
