Unidata does not have such a converter.  You could use McIDAS to do the
conversion, however:

- create an ADDE dataset of type GINI populated with the images you want
  to convert

- use IMGCOPY to copy from the GINI dataset into a dataset of type NCDF

- the process could be rolled into one or more LDM pqact.conf actions
  so that the conversion would be automatic

I would contact Rick Kohrs or Russ Dengel in the MUG for details.

Cheers,

Tom Yoksas
