[gdal-dev] Sun Raster format

[Greg Coats]

Open source ImageMagick, according to http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php , supports the "Sun Rasterfile" format, that, according to http://www.fileformat.info/format/sunraster/egff.htm , begins with a 32 byte header. The Sun Rasterfile format does not store georeferencing metadata.

I can't seem to open .ras files in FWTools (I'm using version 2.4.7 for windows), and don't see it listed in the formats list.  I noticed on Frank's web page that he included Sun Raster in the list of formats he'd written translators for, and I wondered if this had ever made it into GDAL (even an old version).
