      Why would this be the case -- the licence agreement applies to
      Linux as much as Windows. Does your version support ECW files? Use
      gdalinfo to see supported raster formats. What does it report?<br>

                        <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hello,<br>
                          <br>
                          I have recently tried to get QGIS to work with
                          ECW files.<br>
                          <br>
                          Despite several days of multiple
                          installs/reinstalls/uninstalls/lib-upgrades/etc
                          I have not managed to get ECW to be opened by
                          QGIS. This is really frustrating as I am keen
                          to use QGIS on an upcoming project.<br>
                          <br>
                          As an alternative, I would like to pose the
                          following couple of questions...<br>
                          <br>
                          My first question is, what is a good
                          alternative to ECW files for use on QGIS?<br>
                          <br>
                          The second question, how do I convert the ECW
                          file into this format without using a
                          propriety software package?<span><font
