Hi Paul,
re:

We're not in Phoenix yet, but we did just finish packing the supplies for
the booth we will have in the exhibits area at the AMS meeting.

OK.

I apologize for not being able to get to the installations in a timely
manner. I was working on modifications needed to upgrade the bundled
Tcl/Tk package to the latest version available. The problem is that the
new version did not support a construct I used in my MCGUI interface,
and I had to spend some time figuring out exactly what needed to be
changed. I finished the changes on Sunday night, and ran tests on
Monday here in the office. The result is a new McIDAS 2008 addendum,
v2008c.

OK. So, I should trace the process from cron entries for the user 'mcidas'?

I am not quite sure what you mean by "strong tables", but I will have a
look anyway.

OK, no worries.

OK. I will try to logon sometime this afternoon or evening. Right now I
am involved in writing a final report for a project, and after that I have
to write my AMS paper so I can submit it tomorrow.
> Thanks ahead of time if you have time! :-)
Again, I will try to get to this as soon as possible.
Cheers,
Tom
