Drew,

GDAL is supposed to auto-recognise file formats.  So
if gdalinfo doesn't recognise the format it is presumably
something different than the driver was written for.   Can
you point me to a sample file?

By the way, the ELAS test files I have all end with the
extension .odf.  I don't know if that is significant.

Best regards,
