[McIDAS #JGN-249914]: IMGMAKE

Hi Mike,

I am hoping for the end of next week, but I can guarantee before the
beginning of December.

If I correctly understand your workflow, nothing I have been working on
will effect what you are doing.

Here is a line from the Python setup script provided by SSEC:

echo "Error: The McIDAS-X Python package is not compatible with Python 3.x"

Looks like their compatibility is just 2 :-(  I have to say that my best
guess is that this will change down the road (but no promises).

re:
> As always thank you for all your help, it is greatly appreciated!

No worries.  Your feedback has been _very_ useful to me!

Cheers,

Tom
