Hi Karthik,

Very strange.

This was good thinking!

>But I think, the images are already single banded.

Please send me the full output of an IMGLIST command for one or
more of the images you grabbed from SSEC.  Make sure that the IMGLIST
command includes the FROM=ALL keyword sequence.

It is beginning to seem like the images are bad.

I tried, but the SSH kept timing out.  I just tried again and got
the same results (SSH timeout).  I tried this both as 'mcidas' and
as 'ldm'.  I don't know if this is because of new firewall
restrictions on s400 or on our machines.

>somewhere for you to look into? Would that be needed?

Our systems are basically locked down, so we don't allow files to
be FTPed to us.  Can you put the data on a machine that I can FTP
from?  If so, I will take a look at the images as soon as possible
and give you my impression of their quality.

Cheers,

Tom

Hi Tom,

I am with Dr Cutrim in PA ( for the Conference ). I will mail you 
the deatils as soon as I get back to Kalamazoo(WMU).

Sometimes, We have network problems in our school causing the access 
to the server to be restricted. On week days, our SYSADMIN of WMU 
monitors the problem and resolves it. But Since the problem occured 
on a weekend ( Friday evening !!! ), may be he is not aware of the 
problem. I have sent him an Email about it. Hope he sets this right 
on Monday morning. But as such there is not firewall that is 
blocking incomming requests.

Thank you for the reply though.
