--- Start of Idrisi List message James, Thanks for your follow-up on the topic of the lack of a direct converter between Idrisi32 and Arc GRID formats. I have done some research on the topic, and it seems that if Idrisi were to become a business partner with ESRI, then this lack of access to their proprietary formats would cease to be a problem. Considering that ESRI products are some of the most widely used GIS products on the market, it would probably be a good move for all Idrisi users if this were to happen. This would open up so much more data for our use without the constant questions about how to convert between the Idrisi & GRID formats.
