Thanks for the help. I did not have to download python because<br>
it's already within openev_fw.<br><br>
I got it working and the results look fine. I did not have my paths
right.<br><br>
I have to study a bit on python and gdal because we can <br>
come up with very nice tools with them.<br><br>
I can write fortran, c/c++, tcl/tk and vtk codes/apps, but never <br>
looked into python. Also, I've had gdal on my computer for<br>
some time and just now that decided to take a look at it.<br>
It's very nice. Thanks Frank!<br><br>
Anyway, thanks again.<br><br>

I unziped the openev_fw_1.6.2.zip and made the required change<br>
in the setfw.bat file.<br><br>
I can run Openev and all the gdal utilities.<br>
However, the gdal_merge.py module code opens in the MS Notepad<br>
when I try to run it. I see that the icon of the modules are
associated<br>
with the Notepad.<br><br>
I do not know anything about Python. I've heard of it but
never<br>
used it before.<br><br>
What program do I need to associated the module with in order to<br>
run it, or what is needed to do to run it on Win2k?<br><br>
Any suggestion is welcomed!<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>

There are other distributions of Python for Win2k, but I've only
used<br>
this one:<br><br>

There's a download button in the upper left of the page. Once
you've<br>
installed it, you can execute gdal_merge.py like<br><br>
python gdal_merge.py<br><br>
Python is a scripting language (like Perl) and 'python' is the program
that<br>
interprets the scripts (like the program 'perl').<br><br>
Python is powerful and very easy to learn, and is the language of<br>
choice for more and more GIS programming projects. Python's
home<br>
page<br><br>
<a href="http://www.python.org/" eudora="autourl">http://www.python.org</a><br><br>
is not so compelling, but is the place to start for tutorials and<br>
language reference.<br><br>
cheers,<br>
