RE: UCAR's IDD Upstream Data Feed Source

Tom and Mike, 

Thanks for the update.
Certainly understand with the recent eruption.....

Mike, 

Feel free to feed from thelma until Tom can catch his breath, and do some
software updates. You may want to try the notifyme command to see if and
when UAF/GI begins receiving the full UNIDATA suite of products and
attempt to transfer over at that time. keep me posted, and I will keep the
allow for you on thelma until the other issues are resolved.


Cheers,

-Jeff
