This was a known limitation of McIDAS-X, but I was under the impression that
it had been "fixed" (or the maximum size had been extended) in more recent
distributions.

Can you make one of the large images available so that I can test it in
the current and as yet unreleased versions of Unidata McIDAS-X?
