Problems opening local files

[Enils Bashi <EBashi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Im having problems reading local files with ferret. I can read urls from the
DODS servers 
just fine. Before I tried to read the URLs I could read local files just
fine. My problem was
the Ferret Environmental variables for the dataset and Ferret Home. Once I
got those set
everything worked fine with the local files; but after I read in some URL
cdf/nc files I could 
not access local files.
The following is what happens: 

yes? use
"http://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/cgi-bin/nph-nc/data/time_series/raw/102
2-A.cdf"
yes? show data
     currently SET data sets:

yes? use coads_climatology
 **TMAP ERR: non-existent or not on line
             Searched $FER_DESCR and $FER_DATA for
coads_climatology(.des,.cdf,.
nc)

---------
I am running Windows 2000 Professional Edition on a Dell Pentium 4 machine.
I have set
all the variables and environment as indicated in the post installation
README.txt file. 
I think it should read coads_climatology.cdf file that was provided with the
Ferret sample data.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated...
