Hi Chet,
I'm not sure how you're printing the FlatField, but I did
find a bug in FlatField.toString() that could cause your
problem. I am at the AMS Conference in Long Beach this
week and cannot update our source server, but did put the
fix at:
ftp://hyde.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/incoming/FlatField.java
Cheers,
Bill
