[McIDAS #PGJ-855031]: Displaying GOES-7 IR image



Hi Kwan,

Sorry I was not able to get to this before now...

I extracted the AREA file you attached; created an ADDE dataset for it
and have no problems listing or displaying the data from it:

I have attached screen captures for each of the 3 bands in the image

No worries.
