[McIDAS #VQU-472558]: imgcopy UNIT parameter

Hi Carol,

re:

McIDAS makes a lot of sense AFTER it starts making sense.  It's kind of like
Unix/Linux :-)

It should keep the resolution of the image in the file.  I'm saying it this
way since one could use IMGCOPY with a MAG= factor to create an AREA file
and then use an additional IMGCOPY to copy a piece out of the newly
created AREA file, and the resolution would not be the native satellite
resolution, but, rather, that in the copy.

Water vapor channels _are_ infrared channels, so yes.

re:
> Thanks,

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
