The only way I could investigate this is by getting a copy of the GINI image that you created. >Are there some IMGCHA commands I need to run on the nex2gini >stuff before using them in McIDAS? IMGCHA won't work since there is not giniaput server (I only implemented the ADIR (directory listing) and AGET (data retrieving) servers. Any chance I could FTP the file you are using so I could take a closer look? Since I never tested the GINI server code on an echo tops composite, there is a real liklihood that I have munged something in the GINI server code. Tom
