importing "BIL" format files...

[Jason Sperfslage]

Hi Jim,


Thanks for your reply.  Yes, as it turns out, the solution was so simple that I
didn't even bother to try it first.  As you and others have pointed out, one
can work with these files directly, using nothing more than r.mapcalc to 
convert them into full-blown cell files.

My only problem now (and maybe you have something to say about this as well),
is getting the files from lat/lon reference to UTM.  In a ll-referenced 
location, the file imports directly with r.mapcalc, and they look nice.  
However, I need to register these files with data in UTM-referenced mapsets.
It would seem that r.in.ll would read these files and accomplish the task, but
I keep ending up with all missing data, just blank files.  The approach seems
obvious, and so do the needed parameters, so I am not sure what is hanging 
things up.  Any words of wisdom?  I'm wondering if stretching multiple 
projection zones has anything to do with it (I am referencing from the 
west-most zone of course), or if there is some other "little" thing like that
which is not so obviously a problem.


Comments are welcome.  Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Regards,

jason
