Hi Rob,

IMGDISP sleeping sounds like some system resource is not available, or
there is a problem with the server that IMGDISP is trying to get data
from.

Can you send me the name of the server of the dataset you are trying
to display?

>So despite the data being there it is not being found.

If it was not found, IMGDISP wouldn't sleep, it would end with a message
that the data requested can't be found.

I have seen a case where the ADDE image server went into a semi-infinite
loop when trying to process an image, but this was on an image that
was bad, and I fixed that problem some time ago.

Perhaps if I could point at the same server you are pointing at, I could
discern what may be happening.  For instance, if IMGDISP works for me
while pointing to the same server you are pointing at, then the problem
will most likely be something in your account.
