Glad to hear that.

Are these from an AWIPS system?  We currently do not support 
satellite imagery from AWIPS in the IDV. However, we are in the
process of increasing the netCDF support for various data types.
Do you have one or more sample files that I could use to test
with?  If you could put them on an FTP/HTTP server for me to
download, I can take a look.

Thanks.
