Yes, this helps. I was confused by "...(i.e. if the option has 
"new,cell,...", it will look in the "cell" directory)". Creating a 
float-raster (FCELL) or double-raster (DCELL), creates an "fcell" 
directory. So, according to the comment, I thought that it should be 
"fcell" in this case.

Thanks, N

ps- Something like "gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_ullr ullat ullon lrlat 
lelon in.tif out.tif" is the right way for non-GeoTIFFs, right?
