Hi Scott,

Sorry that I wasn't able to get to a reply to your query before now...

re:
> No problem at all. I know you are busy. I look forward to hearing from
> you next week. Have a good weekend,

Before launching off into a discussion of the various McIDAS things
that go into creating something as simple as a GIF, I need to find out
how much or little you know about McIDAS?  In particular, do I need to
go into:

- creating a McIDAS-X environment using 'mcenv'?

- McIDAS-X ADDE dataset definition, accessing, etc.?

- scripting McIDAS-X commands outside of an interactive session?

- LDM pattern action files actions for processing satellite imagery?

It would also be very useful for me to understand more about your
setup:

- are you intending to create/maintain a (mini) archive of satellite
  imagery?

  If yes, do you envision wanting to go back to display/analyze images
  saved to disk?

Have you read through the McIDAS-X Learning Guide and/or Training Workshop
materials:
