Hi Jim,

Very good.

I understand.  You are differentiating images by satellite, and putting all 
images
for a specific satellite into on directory.

As a side comment:

The length of time it takes for the ADDE server to created a sorted list
of images is a linear function for the number of images that it has
to open to extract information like date and time.

OK, got it.

The first question that comes to mind is how do you want to store the
remapped FullDisk images (directory structure and naming)?

The next question is how you would like to proceed?  In my mind, the
options are for you to take a stab at modifying the files that you
unpacked this morning, or if you want me to make a stab at making all
of the changes, and then repackaging up the files that get changed
for you to download.

Cheers,

Tom
