Actually, the output is netCDF; the input is whatever kind of dataset for which there are ADDE servers. I have developed an ADDE subserver for GINI imagery for the Unidata version of McIDAS, so my distribution can convert from GINI to netCDF. >Please let me know if there is someone that might be able to help us out. In order to use the conversion capabilities in our distribution, you would have to get and install Unidata McIDAS-X; configure ADDE dataset access; and then do something like: IMGCOPY RTGINI/GSN8KIR NCDF/GVAR.1 SIZE=ALL (I just tried this here at Unidata and it appears to work fine.) This copies the latest 8 km GINI Super National composite image from the RTGINI/GSN8KIR dataset to the first postion in the netCDF dataset, NCDF/GVAR. Inherent in the ADDE copy is conversion from the source dataset type to that of the output dataset. The nice thing about using ADDE is that the source and/or datasets do not need to be local to your own machine. The mailer information on this email indicates that it was sent from NCAR/RAP. Is this true? Do you work for RAP? If so, you are already licensed for Unidata McIDAS-X. If you are interested in pursuing this path to your GINI conversion problem, please let me know. >Thanks, >Dave Tom Yoksas
