Hi Don,

re:
> Thanks for fixing the GINI 4km IR name.

No worries.  I still need to make the same change to the data being
saved on adde.ssec.wisc.edu (the motherlode clone we run at SSEC).

Nuts!  I meant to getting to this before now (sigh).

Unfortunately, no.

re:

I have been meaning to do this.  I will try to get to it
today.

Yes.  I was thinking along much the same lines, MD_CCYYMMDD, much like
the naming convention for archived imagery (e.g., IR_CCYYMMDD_HHMM).

re:
> Thanks in advance.

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
