i use idl, python and c programs (without gdal) which recognize the appended
extension, not the substituted one.

i think linux and windows might have different conventions.
all file created by envi i have ever seen are of the form:
<whatever> + <whatever>.hdr
on linux with envi 3.4 and 3.5.

obviously using "append the .hdr" as the default (as envi does) is fine by
me
as well :).

thanks,
