Hi Jerry,

OK.  I must apologize to you and especially Matthew for not already
having done this (like I promised some time ago).

Unless all EXP products are somehow wanted/needed, please limit the
~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf request line to the only the composite wanted.

Sounds good.

The process should be simple.  I have the same kind of thing working
in support of field projects (first Rico and now Trex) on
atm.geo.nsf.gov.  Since the intent there was to sectorize images,
I created a Tcl script that would do the appropriate IMGCOPY, area2png,
and then pqinsert.  The specification of the load center, blowdown,
ADDE dataset, etc. is specified in simple ASCII configuration files so
that the same script can be used for whatever image data is desired.

>I hope to complete this before the end of day Thursday this week.

Sounds good.

>Please let me know if you see/have any issues with this.

No issues as far as I am concerned.
