Hi Shaun,
I'm sure this won't cover everything (all the points Jason makes for
example) but I know in FME2007 there is a RasterReader transformer
that might be of use. My suggestion would be to add the CSV as a
source dataset, route it through the RasterReader and use the raster
name attribute to specifiy the raster data to read.

I don't know if FME will yet read the TFW file, but if not then I'd
think the Offsetter could be used to shift it into place. Finally
there's a RasterMerger transformer which I'd imagine would, well,
merge all the rasters into one.

OK - that's all off the top of my head. If there's more info you need
or I'm misunderstanding something then please let me know and I'll ask
our raster experts.

Jason - which item did you request an enhancement for? TFW reading or
merging or... everything?! If I can find the PR then I can add Shaun's
details and try to get a priority increase.

Regards,

Mark
