McIDAS-X Fastrack Version 2006c
Software and Instructions

All changes in McIDAS-X 2006c have been tested by the SSEC MUG team; however, a complete system test has not been performed. Therefore, this version may not be as stable as a fully-supported upgrade and we recommend that you do NOT install it on a mission-critical workstation.

McIDAS-X 2006c is not supported by the MUG as it is still being evaluated. However, it is likely that some or all of its changes will be included in a future McIDAS-X upgrade. If you elect to install 2006c, we ask that you notify the McIDAS Help Desk if you encounter any bugs. Please be sure to mention that you are running version 2006c.

Also note that if you plan to upgrade to 2006c from a version earlier than 2006 (e.g., 2005), you must first read and perform the required actions in the document titled McIDAS-X Version 2006 Upgrade Procedure, May 2006 that was included in your site's May 2006 upgrade package.

Before installing Fastrack version 2006c, make sure you view the composite list of Fastrack Software Changes. You might want to print or download the file for future reference.
