Mappers, What a difference a file format makes. When I asked about .pdf I received a veritable cornucopia of opinions. In contrast, my query about .bil (original question below) resulted in but two respondents (thank you John Schlosser and Pat Lee). It seems that there need be a .hdr file corresponding to the .bil file and even that may require some editting for MI to find happiness. I could not locate any .hdr files for my bils so I guess I have some research to do in order to construct them. Thanks for the leads, Declan Original Question: I have some USGS DEM files that came in .bil format. Although bil files are listed as a format supported by MI, when I attempt to open them (using MI 5) I get the message "raster engine was unable to recognize image file format." Does anyone have any tricks for using bil files in MI? Should my problem be resolved I anticipate my next issue will be accessing the DEM in the bil. Since bil is a raster format I presume even getting in these files will provide only a background image. Has anyone had any experience getting from bil to Vertical Mapper to allow some analyis of/with the DEM information. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
