[Gdal-dev] GDAL_TRANSLATE and PNM format

[Jim Julian]

Hi,

    My original purpose in downloading the current CVS was to verify an 
error in gdal_translate.
Given the following command line:

"gdal_translate n36w082.bil n36w082.pnm"

A geotiff is written rather than a PGM or PPM file. I tried using the PGM 
extension as well.
I looked through my OpenEV and GDAL archives in the process of studying the 
problem
and found no references, which brings me to another question.
    Has anyone found anything that serves as the equivalent of an offline 
Google search
engine? I can easily convert all my archives to text files. I prefer 
individual emails since
the subject lines make a handy index to the nature of the communications. 
This way
I have been able to search by person/date/subject. I do not think this 
would not have been
so easy using the digest form.

                                                                                     Jim
