SKEWT reads directly from MD files; UAPLOT makes a request to the ADDE server specified in the DATALOC for RTPTSRC. >I noticed that when I plot a SKEWT from the menu, i.e., with SF9,F2, the >gui widget hangs and I'm unable to enter or change values.

The Fkey menu uses UAPLOT, so the hanging is consistent with the hangs from the McIDAS session and the Unix command line. I would check the ADDE server to which you are pointing for RTPTSRC data. Is it your local machine? Run DATALOC and look at the listing. You can troubleshoot UAPLOT invocations by changing the ADDE server to which you are pointed. For instance, what happens when you do: DATALOC ADD RTPTSRC ADDE.UCAR.EDU UAPLOT 72469 12 >thanks, Tom >From address@hidden Tue Oct 31 11:34:55 2000 >Subject: Re: 20001031: MCIDAS 7.6, UAPLOT hangs Tom, Yes, it's my ADDE server setup. The UAPLOT works fine when I change RTPTSRC to ADDE.UCAR.EDU. I added TCP wrappers to my machine a while back (vortex.met.sjsu.edu) and inadvertantly deleted the ADDE entries in inetd.conf. I replaced those entries and restarted the inetd daemon. But I'm still having some trouble. I've been looking at the web documentation which keeps pointing me to the User's Guide: e.g. from: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/760/mclearn/adde.html However, notice the user's guide link is broken..? I know there is some good help in the support archives...I'll check that out. Is MCIDAS 7.7 ready for primetime? Maybe this would be a good time to upgrade. thanks, Mike >From address@hidden Tue Oct 31 12:04:11 2000 >Subject: Re: 20001031: MCIDAS 7.6, UAPLOT hangs Tom, FYI- Well, I played with inetd.conf a little more and voila, my ADDE server seems to work now. thanks, Mike
