Hi C.K.,

I apologize for the _long_ time it took to get to your question.  When
we received your inquiry we were in the middle of hosting training workshops.
Since then we have been busy packing our offices in preparation for a move.

I would have thought that one of these formats would have worked, especially
"MTSAT HRIT"...

Did you try contacting SSEC about this problem?  If not, I would encourage
you to visit their web pages related to McIDAS-V (McIDAS-V is available
directly from SSEC, not from Unidata):

SSEC McIDAS

  McIDAS-V
  http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidas/software/v/

  All McIDAS-V Forums
  http://dcdbs.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidasv/forums/

You will need to register for the McIDAS-V forum to post and get
help from SSEC and other McIDAS-V users.

Again, I apologize for letting your inquiry languish!

Cheers,

Tom
