Tom, I'll double check that in the AM so you can see what I am seeing (or not!) Robert >From address@hidden Mon Nov 13 23:26:36 2000 >Subject: Re: 20001113: higher res topo file (cont.) Tom, For some reason if you do IMGLIST TOPO/HIRES.ALL you will see it in position 1. I did have to do IMGDISP TOPO/HIRES.1 EU=IMAGE to view it. Robert >From address@hidden Tue Nov 14 07:08:15 2000 >Subject: Re: 20001113: higher res topo file (cont.) Tom, I sent you an e-mail from home last night with a return address of address@hidden! What I was trying to say is that for some reason you have to do IMGLIST TOPO/HIRES.ALL to see it and will see it in position one. I had to do IMGDISP TOPO/HIRES.1 to see it. Also, I thought I forwarded your e-mail about where I could view your hires topo file but it did not get here. Could you resend that info? Thanks, Robert
