20000110: McIDAS data file permissions



I'm having a problem where the data files created by mcidas on our server
are being written with file permissions of 666 instead of 664.  This is
affecting AREA and GRID files as well as the STRTABLE file.  I have
manually set the permissions back to 664 but I'd like to know what is
causing this.  I upgraded mcidas from 7.4 to 7.6 over the Christmas break
and everything else _seems_ to be running correctly.  I checked to umask
in mcidas' .cshrc and .mcenv as well as the ldm's umask and they are all
set to 002.  I'm not sure what else to check.  I didn't see anything in
the support achives related to this.  Thanks.

I think I've corrected the problem.
