McIDAS Status Report-October, 1997
McIDAS Since the User Committee-sponsored workshop in June, the following areas
have received most of the attention for the McIDAS support staff at Unidata:
- Produce a McIDAS-X, -OS2 Version 7.201 distributions
- Produce McIDAS-XCD Version 7.20 distributions
- Develop a Tcl/Tk-based GUI for McIDAS-X 7.2x
- Experiment with a Java GUI for McIDAS-OS2
- Prepare presentations for the September-October training workshops
- Incorporate ADDE use in the McIDAS Learning Guide
- Update presentations to reflect new McIDAS functionality
- Receive Java JWS training (inhouse at MMM)
The 7.201 distribution combines the SSEC FastTrack 7.201 (experimental) distribution
with Unidata additions and bugfixes. The SSEC McIDAS-XCD distribution is totally
contained in the Unidata McIDAS-X distribution; it is a separate package for
Unidata McIDAS-OS2. Our intention is to not release 7.201 to the community at-large,
but, rather, to make it the basis of our transition to the McIDAS ADDE applications.
We will be using this distribution in our Fall training workshop.
