GDAL support the reading of ERS and ASAR data in tiff format?

[Gail Millin]

Dear MapServer Users,

I would like to use MapServer to serve ERS1&2, ASAR (AP,IM&WS) data in a
WMS format. At present I have created WMS that serve landsat, spot data
etc. I have tried to do the same for ERS and ASAR (see Mapfile syntax below
ASAR AP example)however when I go to view the data in my web client all I
see is a black box in the viewer? I am wondering if GDAL supports the ERS
and ASAR radar data types?

        END

I would appreciate any suggestions or help from someone who has previously
achieved serving ASAR and ERS data using MapServer.

Many thanks
