[GEMPAK #XVF-230778]: HRIT format MTSAT data in GEMPAK

["Unidata GEMPAK Support" <support-gempak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

I don't have any particulars about the data you are referring to.
Is it in McIDAS AREA file format? If so, we may be able to add the McIDAS
navigation module for that type.If you can determine the navigation type of the imagery, 
I can tell you if there is an available module for the navigation.
