Yes, it seems that I can display the data using the 'pseudocolor' or
'freak out' (what exactly is that?) color maps.  The 'grayscale' color
map just gives a solid gray rectangle, whereas the 'colormap' option
gives just a blank background.  I would prefer a simple grayscale
image.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this with qgis 1.0.2 compiled
from source?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Brook
