My username is >cutrim. Could you enable it to run mcidas? Yes, you can configure your account to run McIDAS-X. The directions for doing this are contained in: Unidata McIDAS-X HomePage http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/mcx/index.html Installation http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/mcx/mcidas-x.html Configuring Unidata McIDAS-X Accounts http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/mcx/config_mcx.html Configuring User Accounts http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/mcx/config_users.html Basically, all you have to do is (comments assume that you use the C shell): o login to your account o create the mcidas/data directory: mkdir mcidas mkdir mcidas/data o edit .cshrc and add: if ( ! ${?MCPATH} ) then setenv MCDATA ${HOME}/mcidas/data setenv MCPATH ${MCDATA}:/home7/ldm/mcidas/data:/home7/ldm/mcidas/help setenv MCGUI /home7/ldm/mcidas/bin setenv MCTABLE_READ "${MCDATA}/MCTABLE.TXT;/home7/ldm/mcidas/data/ADDESITE.TXT" setenv MCTABLE_WRITE "${MCDATA}/MCTABLE.TXT" endif setenv PATH ${MCGUI}:$PATH o make these additions active in your account: log out and then log in or source .cshrc o verify that you can "see" the McIDAS-X executables: which mcidas This should come back with /home7/ldm/mcidas/bin/mcidas. o start a McIDAS-X session: cd mcidas/data mcidas o add the REDIRECTions for the AREA files that you want: REDIRECT ADD AREA6239 "/ilya2/mcidas/data REDIRECT ADD AREA6240 "/ilya2/mcidas/data REDIRECT ADD AREA6241 "/ilya2/mcidas/data You should now be able to run the various McIDAS commands that you need to do your analysis. Please let me know if you run into any snags. >I just removed the areas from the mcidas/mcidas/data directory. OK, good. This will help out the disk allocation constraints in the 'mcidas' account.

I already have a mcidas directory on my cutrim account. Maybe I should remove everything and start fresh with the commands you just sent to me.
