Hi Robert,

>I forgot that I need to get the imgremap.pgm from v. 7.8 since it's broken
>in 2002.  Do you know if the IMGREMAP MERGE=YES is fixed in v. 2003?

I just got a chance to check a procedure (BATCH file) that I got from
Owen Cooper of the Aeronomy Lab of NOAA here in Boulder that nicely
demonstrated the v2002 IMGREMAP failure.  Luckily, the input images
used in the composite were still available on his FTP site, so I could
regrab them and rerun the test under v2003.

I am happy to report that, at least, Owen's procedure for compositing
GMS-5 and GOES-10 imagery using the PRO=DEST MERGE=YES option of
IMGREMAP works correctly in v2003.  I think/hope you will find that the
same IMGREMAP mods will work for you also.

>Thanks,

Later...

Tom

Thanks, that's good to hear as I now have the horsepower to make some really
nice composites here.
