Hi Andrew-

No problem.  What organization are you with and what would you
be using the IDV for?

Okay.

>I will double check the data but I am fairly certian it is 8 byte,

>try again and let you know if I have any more trouble.

Okay, let me know.

>Do you know where any data, of this type, is freely available?  I am
>just looking to test.

I got a sample at:

http://edcsgs9.cr.usgs.gov/glis/hyper/guide/1_dgr_demfig/states/CO.html

and 

http://edc.usgs.gov/geodata/samples.html

You'll need to uncompress them before the IDV will work.

No work has been done on this that I know of since that paper was
written.  It was being worked on by some others here (John Caron), but
I think other projects have taken on higher priorities.
