Hi JoÃo, re: > I got my McIDAS from the following site: > http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidas/software/x/ OK, thanks for providing this information. This means that you/your site must be a member in good standing of the MUG. Because of that status, you can, if you like, get the Unidata McIDAS-X distribution (in addition to or in place of the SSEC version). The Unidata distribution is a little different than the SSEC version in that it contains some additional programs, is supported on more platforms, and has some features that were never adopted into the SSEC distribution. re: > We are a meteorology company born and situated inside UFRJ (Universidade > Federal do Rio de Janeiro - Federal Universitiy of Rio de Janeiro). We have > a partnership with LAB2m (http://lab2m.coppe.ufrj.br/) which has inspired > us in the use of McIDAS. Very good. I have had interactions with one or more folks from COPPE in the past. re: > Most importantly we intend on hosting a LDM server > and sharing our own weather data with the unidata network. Excellent! re: > For this all to > happen, I am learning to use the tools of the trade, McIDAS being one of > them.

If things are working correctly, you should get a response that looks like: % telnet 128.104.109.190 112 Trying 128.104.109.190... Connected to 128.104.109.190. Escape character is '^]'. If you get this, you will need to terminate the connection with a CTRL-C. It will also mean that you can contact the ADDE server and that your DSINFO invocation should work. re: > Thanks No worries.
