Hi Kwan,

re:
> How have you been lately?

Very well, thanks.  And you?

re:

Is the navigation off consistently from image to image?

re:

I suppose that one could manipulate the AREA file header (I am assuming
that the images are in AREA file format) outside of McIDAS, but the
things that need to be worried about (e.g., big-endian vs small-endian,
etc.) would make the job unappealing at best.  Manipulating the AREA
file header in McIDAS is straightforward, and tests can be made
at each step of the process to verify that the step taken had a positive
effect.

re:
> Thanks again for your help!

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
