Excellent.

What is going on here is that the Lambert Conformal projection in McIDAS
requires that the standard latitudes be different.  If you want to remap
into a projection where the projection cone is tangent to the surface
of the earth (i.e., the standard latitudes are the same), then you need
to remap into the Tangent Cone projection (TANC= keyword).
