Hi Kwan, re: > I displayed your AREA file in both GEMPAK and McIDAS.

After running IMGCOPY TEST/TOPO > MYDATA/IMAGES.3010 SIZE=SAME, I displayed the image and saw the same > stretched color problem! Hmm... I displayed the images in an interactive McIDAS session that was setup to support 16 graphic levels and 128 image levels. If your tests are all being done from the *nix command line, your "session" likely only has 8 graphic levels and 48 image levels. Try running an interactive McIDAS session and loading the images to see if you get a different result.
