The compiling balked again at >agetserv.fp. I took out the extra parentheses at line 1153 (my compiler didn't >like those) and then it compiled fine. You are, of course correct. The extra trailing parenthesis on that line is incorrect; I just corrected it. >Giovanni was then able to display the images in question, but I think he still >has a problem with mapping. He will send in another support email for that. Hmm... I exercised the code on my Linux system at home and had no problems. Since I am now in my office, I can try the mod on my Solaris system and see if I get mapping problems. <a few minutes later> I downloaded all of the images that Giovanni made available on his web page: http://metsun1.met.sjsu.edu/~leoncini/images/ to a common directory. I then setup datasets for each type of image: DSSERVE ADD SJSU/NCAL AREA DIRFILE=/home/mcidas/images/NCAL* TYPE=IMAGE "SJSU NCAL IMAGES DSSERVE ADD SJSU/VIS AREA DIRFILE=/home/mcidas/images/VIS* TYPE=IMAGE "SJSU VIS IMAGES DSSERVE ADD SJSU/IR AREA DIRFILE=/home/mcidas/images/IR* TYPE=IMAGE "SJSU IR IMAGES DSSERVE ADD SJSU/WV AREA DIRFILE=/home/mcidas/images/WV* TYPE=IMAGE "SJSU WV IMAGES and listed then loaded all of the NCAL* images in a loop, AND drew maps on them: IMGLIST SJSU/NCAL.ALL Image file directory listing for:SJSU/NCAL Pos Satellite/ Date Time Center Band(s) sensor Lat Lon --- ------------- ------------ -------- ---- ---- ------------ 1 G-10 IMG 12 JUL 01193 17:00:00 38 123 1 2 G-10 IMG 12 JUL 01193 17:30:00 38 123 1 3 G-10 IMG 12 JUL 01193 18:00:00 38 123 1 4 G-10 IMG 12 JUL 01193 18:30:00 38 123 1 5 G-10 IMG 12 JUL 01193 19:00:00 38 123 1 6 G-10 IMG 12 JUL 01193 19:30:00 38 123 1 IMGLIST: done IMGDISP SJSU/NCAL ALL=1 6 EU=IMAGE SF=YES REFRESH='EG (GRA);MAP H GRA=(GRA)' I had no problems with either the IMGDISPs or with the MAP drawing, but, then again, this was done using my 7.8 release. I don't _think_ that there should be any difference using 7.7, but I could be wrong. If Giovanni does see a problem, please ask him to let me know AND send along the output from them MAP command(s) that fail. > Thanks again for your great support! No worries. Talk to you later. Tom
