Right it was your patch I was referring to in my previous post:

"Currently we are using HFA which is great except for lack of nodata
support (theres a patch in gdal trac which adds that but it will be a
while before that filters down into distros etc after it has been
applied to gdal svn). Second snag with HFA is that it doesnt work (for
us anyway) on both ArcMap 8 and ArcView 3.x."

I look forward to your patch making its way into mainstream distros.

Regards

Tim
