Re: Bug in isCoord? and prob with addXml.pl

[Jonathan Callahan <callahan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To all,

All the scripts we've created for the various LAS servers on
ferret.wrc.noaa.gov are located in a central, web accessible
repository.  You can also find xml files and Ferret descriptor files.

www.ferret.noaa.gov/LAS_jnlFiles
www.ferret.noaa.gov/LAS_xmlFiles
www.ferret.noaa.gov/LAS_desFiles

An initialization script to increase memory is:

http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/LAS_jnlFiles/init_mem_16.jnl

I'd encourage those with DODS servers to think about sharing their xml
files in a similar manner.  This would allow others to add data that you
maintain to their remote LAS interfaces.  Remote LAS sites would present
the interface to your data but requests for products would be sent to
your server.  This is what we call a 'sister server' relationship.

In our vision of the "Best of all possible worlds" every data set would
be maintained and served by its 'owner' but the metadata describing how
to access that data (xml configuration file as represented in an LAS
interface) would be available many places.
