[Gdal-dev] Enhancement to access Arc/Info Binrary Grid in zip file

[Kevin Ruland]

Hi all,

I've been lurking for a little while and am a relatively new user of the 
GDAL library.  Please excuse any "neubies" I might make.

I'm in the process of cataloging all of our raster datasets and am 
troubled by the Arc/Info multiple file setup.  Keeping track of multiple 
files is significantly harder than tracking them all in, say, a zip 
file.  I was wondering if anyone has considered storing these 
multi-resource formats in a container of some kind, what the 
implications are, and if it would even be worthwile to persue.

Thanks much.
