Jeff,

I don't *think* that OpenEV 1.60 was built with ECW support.  The OpenEV_FW
1.6.2 build at this URL should include ECW support:

   http://gdal.maptools.org/dl/openev/OpenEV_FW_162.zip

The same applies for JPEG2000 support.  Not in the 1.6.0 build, but it is in
the OpenEV_FW 1.6.2 build.

Best regards,
