What is the format of this file?  Given the path, it looks like it's just a 
picture, not a radar file.  We support NEXRAD Level II and III, DORADE and UF 
formatted files.  Apparently, this file is a different format.  If you know the 
format, please send some documentation on it's structure.

Thanks for your interest in the IDV.
