I don't think so.  The default compression scheme is now GZIP, and the tools
needed to implement this on the client AND server side is bundled in the McIDAS
distribution.  Since the client is running on the server machine, there should
be no problem with compression.  Plus, the error that Paul reported shows that
the data transfer started but did not complete.  My guess is that the script was
run just as the image was being written to disk, and the serving ran out of
image before it was finished.


Cheers,

Tom
