[gdal-dev] gdal_translate question

[Robert Denham]

Yes, I think it is a version problem. I am using gdal-1.1.1, and I see
that the img writing stuff is very recent. Unfortunately I am having
trouble using cvs through our network system. I tried browsing the cvs
from the web page and grabbing what I needed, but this didn't work. I
think I will have to wait until an new version is zipped up. 


Thanks,
Robert
