20050208: Access to Unidata McIDAS-X (cont.)

Hi Again Ray,

I apologize for making you send in the information needlessly.  It
would have helped (me, at least) if you had mentioned that "We were
allowed access to McIdas in the past, but we have the 2002 version
currently".

I am CCing Jennifer Oxelson, our web specialist, on this note so
that she will know that she should allow your downloads again.

Cheers,

Tom
