Dave,

Right. GINI is a format different from McIDAS AREA.

>Is there anything out there that translates GINI into

No, sorry.

OK, now I understand.

Not really.  You might try contacting Joan Brundage of FSL:

Joan Brundage <address@hidden>

She may be able to forward you on to someone over there that has written
a GINI to netCDF converter.  If you contact Joan, please explain your
situation fully; she does not know that I am sending you to her.
