McIDAS-XCD Version 2006
Software and Instructions

The McIDAS-XCD Version 2006 Upgrade was distributed on 14 June 2006. You can obtain the 2006 upgrade files through this webpage using your site's login and password (which was also listed on the cover letter that was enclosed with the upgrade package mailed to your site coordinator). If you do not know the login and password, ask your site coordinator. If you have a problem obtaining these files via the web, ask your site coordinator to contact the McIDAS Help Desk by e-mail or by phone at (608) 262-2455.

NOTE: McIDAS-XCD version 2006 should be installed after McIDAS-X version 2006A is installed on the -XCD workstation. McIDAS-X version 2006A is preferable to version 2006, because it contains some changes specifically for -XCD.

Complete the following steps to obtain and install the upgrade.

  1. Download the following files to the ~oper/mcidas directory on your McIDAS-XCD workstation.
    File name Size Description
    xcd2006.tar.Z 874 KB compressed tar file that contains all source and data files
    Note: The End-of-year Rollover Addendum of December 21, 2006 has been incorporated into this version.
    xcd_README_2006 6 KB lists information to review before installation
    xcd2006.sh 10 KB shell script that does the build/cutover/install/uninstall
  2. Carefully read and complete all steps in the document McIDAS-XCD Version 2006 Upgrade Procedure, June 2006. This document contains an overview of McIDAS-XCD 2006 and specific instructions to follow before, during, and after installing 2006. We strongly urge that all regular users of McIDAS-XCD (not just the installer) read this document.
