[McIDAS #JGN-249914]: IMGMAKE

Hi Mike,

To be clear, the dataset I was talking about was the one for the GOES-16
SCMI images that are distributed in NOAAPort.  The GOES-16 images that
are in the GRB use K=ABIN in RESOLV.SRV.

That's what I get for doing too fast, last minute edits.  I have
added MCSTRETCH to the list of environment variables that get exported
in both the user_env.sh and mcidas_env.sh scripts.  After doing this,
I cut a new distribution compressed tar file, mcidasx2017.tar.gz, and
uploaded it to the McIDAS-X v2017 download area on our website.

Hmm...  Since I didn't touch the IMGREMP or ABIN ADDE server code,
the IMGREMAP strangeness show in the example display that you attached
is a puzzler.  This one will take some deep code diving, so it may
take quite a bit of time to find and fix.

re:

I don't understand the SU problem you reported previously, so I'm
glad that it went away.

re:

That is my guess as well.

Again, figuring out what is going on with the IMGREMAP will likely
take a lot of time... sigh!

Cheers,

Tom
