20020815: cannot view GINI radar composite created with GEMPAK in McIDAS

Robert,

This tells me that the date/time in the file is screwed-up, or the
GINI ADDE server I wrote is munging the date/time information read
from the GINI file.  The only way I could investigate this is by getting
a copy of the GINI image that you created.

IMGCHA won't work since there is not giniaput server (I only implemented
the ADIR (directory listing) and AGET (data retrieving) servers.

Any chance I could FTP the file you are using so I could take a closer
look?  Since I never tested the GINI server code on an echo tops composite,
there is a real liklihood that I have munged something in the GINI server
code.
