Hi Mekonnen,

I have just returned from travel and am catching up on email.

>Thank u for your helpful reply. 

No worries.

>DSSERVE ADD TEST/IMAGES AREA

I looked through the README you attached and see:

  "Each file contains one day's data which consists of 48 images. Each
  image is created from 4 (GMS, GOES-East, GOES-West, and Meteosat)
  composited and remapped McIDAS areas."

So, it appears that the file you have contains multiple images in AREA
format.  If this is really the case, it is understandable that the ADDE
access to the data did not work.

So, the question now is how the multiple images are packed into the
file?  Would it be possible for you to make one or two of these files
available to me so I can take a look?  Thanks.

Cheers,

Tom
