Hi Bernie, re: > Is it possible using McIDAS-V to convert Meteosat (or GMS-5/MTSAT) > images in AREA format to binary images with lat/lon files using the > AXFORM command or is the full-up McIDAS-X version required? Neither McIDAS-V nor the IDV (on which McIDAS-V is based) support the binary output formats provided by AXFORM. However, one can output data in netCDF. In my mind this is preferable to the formats provided by AXFORM in McIDAS-X.
