19990416: GOES-7 Question

Terence,
The GOES-7 craft continued to operate until 1995, and the
image model is supported in the current Gempak 5.4 release.
Is your data in 8 bit McIDAS area files?  There are GOES-7 sample data
files in the $GEMPAKHOME/data directory in our distribution from the
1993 storm of the century as an example of that type of data.
Can you provide me with more information about your data files, and
tell me if you are able to display the sample files distributed
with Gempak 5.4? Where did you obtain your satellite images?
