ERS-1 imagery

Hi Andrea and Jim,

Just browsing the GRASS mail of the past month, I am sorry for
the late reply.

I have written two short GRASS programs reading ERS-1 images in CEOS format:
one for SLC products, the other one for GEC or GTC products. If you like,
I can send you the program code.

What I still have to do is writing a program that reads PRI products in
VMP format. If that is what your program does, Andrea, I would be very
interested.

All the best
Olaf
