Hi Kwan,

re:
> Thanks.  Is the GINI format new?  

I added support for images in GINI format a long ago (10 years? this is a 
guess).

> It is not even listed in the DSSERVE help.

Hmm... I never noticed that.  The other standard format that is not listed
in the DSSERVE help is NEXR, which is for NEXRAD Level III images.  I wonder
why SSEC never added these types to the HELP.

This is OK.

GINI is not supported as an output format type; the standard output
type image format is AREA.  Given this, you should be doing:

cd $MCDATA

dsserve.k ADD MYDATA/IMAGES AREA 0 9999 \"All Images in AREA format
imgremap.k TOPO/NEW MYDATA/IMAGES.3000 PRO=PS X 97 SSI=ALL SSIZE=ALL SIZE=SAME

This should result in the creation of the file AREA3050 in the $MCDATA
directory.

Cheers,

Tom
