[Gdal-dev] ENVI and raster attributes/color support

[Markus Neteler]

Hi,

I have written (hope I got it right) a BSQ header file
for

http://glcf.umiacs.umd.edu/data/landcover/data.shtml
AVHRR Global Land Cover Classification

The attached file is a header file for "gl-latlong-1km-landcover.bsq.gz" from:
ftp://ftp.glcf.umiacs.umd.edu/glcf/Global_Land_Cover/Global/gl-latlong-1km-landcover/

My question is if support could be added to GDAL to read
the color table and the raster attributes so that I could
generate a more GIS convenient IMG file or whatever. 
Or is it a complicated thing (or "quota exceeded" for me :-)?

Best regards

 Markus
