Hi Mike, Yet another tweak for you to test: <as 'mcidas'> cd ~mcidas/mcidas2017/src -- edit scmiaget.cp change lines 617-625 from: /* <<<<< UPC mod 20171223 - size of line buffer must be large enough to hold the maximum input and output line sizes >>>>> */ line_size = read.maxele * /* # elems in a image line */ read.bytppix + /* # bytes per element */ aradir[14]; /* length of line prefix */ line_size = max( line_size, bytes_per_line ); to: /* <<<<< UPC mod 20171223 - size of line buffer must be large enough to hold the maximum input and output line sizes, AND factor of 2 is to account for 4-byte ints vs 2-byte short >>>>> */ line_size = read.maxele * /* # elems in a image line */ read.bytppix + /* # bytes per element */ aradir[14]; /* length of line prefix */ line_size = 2 * max( line_size, bytes_per_line ); The changes are to update the documentation and multiply the final line_size by 2. -- save edit changes make scmiaget && rm ~/bin/scmiaget && ln scmiaget ~/bin I made the change on lead.unidata.ucar.edu and then IMGCOPYed each Mesoscale-1 band to a local dataset on my test machine as a test, and I had no problems. I was going to put a new McIDAS-X/-XCD distribution out in the Downloads area of our website for folks to grab, but I ran into a missing entry point that is called by an updated routine in SSEC XCD v2017.2. I'll need to figure out if I missed the code change somewhere (I don't think so), or if SSEC released a broken version of XCD v2017.2. I did put out new distributions of mcidasx2017.tar.gz and mcupdate.tar.gz, but I will need to yank them as one can not build the XCD component because of the missing entry point. Please let me know if the tweak in scmiaget.cp works for you.
