Dee,

>I have attached an excel spreadsheet with the data sizes to help you
>decide on additional data..

Thanks.  This is just the sort of thing I was looking for.

I notice that the spreadsheet contains data for the GOES imager.  Do
you have similar number for the GOES sounder, GMS, and METEOSAT
datasets?  This set of information is what Chad and I were talking
about in earlier emails.

>If you cannot read excel files let me know and I can fax them.

No problem.  I already read them in Excel and output them as HTML.

>Still waiting to hear from our Sys Adm about the root issue on an

I talked with our system administrator about this issue, and he was
not suprised by Steve B's position.  Mike Schmidt (our guy) commented
that a sudo capability would be fine, and that we would probably want
to limit remote access to ssh.  More on this later...
