If you downloaded 7.70 before December 1, you should regrab, build, and install the entire distribution as there have been numerous changes made since the distribution was originally made available. If you downloaded 7.70 since December 1, you can easily upgrade, so you don't have to regrab the entire distribution. Please see below. The most recent changes made to 7.70 (as of 20001218.17:48), include: o modified the makefile to install the stretch tables for the CIMSS products (the stretch tables were in the distribution you got, but the makefile did not have the code that would install them) o modified the BAR command (bar.pgm) to correctly annotate the storm total precipitation products (the format of the previous annotation did not allow for dates in the form CCYYDDD; it assumed YYDDD) o IMGMAG (imgmag.pgm) was replaced by a new version from SSEC that saw adoption of Unidata mods to support correct reloading of NOAAPORT NIDS images o changed the ADDE setup BATCH file DSSERVE.BAT to reflect the possible existence of both WSI and NOAAPORT NIDS products (dataset group names WSINIDS and RTNIDS, respectively) o updated VERSION.TXT to correctly reflect the distribution date of December 18 I have created a compressed tar file, mcupdate.tar.Z, that contains all modifications since the beginning of December and put it in the unix/770/bugfix directory of the passworded McIDAS FTP account on our FTP server, ftp.unidata.ucar.edu. You should incorporate all of the changes by: <login to your workstation as 'mcidas'> cd mcidas7.7/update ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu <user> <pass> cd unix/770/bugifx binary get mcupdate.tar.Z quit ./mcunpack cd ../src -- If your machine will be running McIDAS-X and -XCD (workstation and decoders): make all make install.all -- Or, if machine will only be running McIDAS-X (workstation): make mcx make install.mcxall Please send any questions/comments to Unidata User Support at the email address listed below.
