r.in.erdas problems

[Roger Slothower]

Folks
Thank you for your notes on ERDAS/GRASS.  I still cannot get r.in.erdas to work, 
although I have tried many things.  I am sure that it is related to the new 
header format, which should be trivial (if programming is ever trivial!)  for a 
GRASS programmer to fix.  What amazes me is one or two notes I saw that should 
that some people were getting way beyond where I got.  

I took Tom Nelson's advice and stripped off the first 128 bytes using dd, 
transferred the rest,  and then entered the GRASS header manually.  It worked 
and I can get by with that for now. 

I would like to encourage a programmer somewhere out there to modify 
r.in.erdas to query for the appropriate ERDAS rev number and to ask whether it
is 4,8, or 16 bit data.

Comments and ideas appreciated.
