Does MapServe handle HDF files?

[Matt Upton]

Greetings, let me explain my situation and I would like to get your input
and suggestions.  

I need to take raw satellite imagery HDF files (from saa.noaa.gov for
example) extract the band we need (chlorophyll, sst, etc...) and convert
them to tiff files (or geotiff) so they can be used in GIS and Photoshop.
Most importantly, we have to transform them to Mercator Cylindrical
projection in a WGS 72 datum.  Do you have any ideas on the best way to
tackle this?   I have some ideas, but we do not have the resources here (no
UNIX machine or IDL or MATLAB (yet)).  We have Windows (PC) and mainly
Mac¹s.
I have played around with downloading and experimenting with different
software (CDAT, HDFview, Hdf-EOS to GIS conversion, and HDFLook (which I
can¹t even get to work)) with no luck yet.  Thanks so much for your time and
let me know if MapServer does this sort of task.

Matt Upton
