GetFeatureInfo on ESRI binary grid

[Jim]

For raster layers you need the file extension too.
DATA "E:\data\elevation.tif"  or whatever it is.

>   LAYER
>     NAME "elevation"
>     DATA "E:\data\elevation"
>     TYPE RASTER
>   END

>   LAYER
>     STATUS ON
>     NAME "elevation_query"
>     DATA "E:\data\elevation"
>     TYPE QUERY
>     DUMP TRUE
>     TEMPLATE template.htm
>   END

> As you can see, I have defined two layers, one for display and one for
