Yes, I now have access to datasets served by your remote ADDE server.

By the way, the easiest and recommended way to (re)setup the system
entries for the remote server is:

<login as 'root'>
cd ~mcidas

sh ./mcinet2002.sh uninstall mcadde            <- McIDAS-X v2002x installed
sh ./mcinet2002.sh install mcadde

-- or --

sh ./mcinet2002.sh uninstall mcadde            <- Upgrading from v2002x to v2003
sh ./mcinet2003.sh install mcadde

>I am not getting those errors anymore.

Looks like things are working nicely again.

Do you have plans of upgrading to v2003 anytime soon?
