--- Start of Idrisi List message I'd like to thank the many contributors who offered suggestions on importing the TM and MSS data "file access denied" roadblock. As it turnes out, the consensus of suggestions to simply uncheck the "Read Only" dialogue box of all the .DAT files -- I'd originally copied to my HDD -- solved it. After subsetting down twice on the data (during the conversion process, a "trying to read beyond end of data" error occured), I was easily able to process the first of several scenes. A big thanks to all!
