Hi Aaron,

I have used this approach with good results. It is especially nice
if you already want the data on the machine where you will write
the data files accessed by ADDE.

I am not quite sure I understand this question. If you have the GVAR
available in files, you can use pqinsert to insert them into your LDM
queue and tag them with a datastream name, etc. If you are ingesting
the images using something like an SDI box, then the files will
typically not be directly usable the end user. In this case, I would
use your first approach which will put the data into AREA files and
then send them. This is exactly the way the imagery in the
Unidata-Wisconsin datastream are generated (ADDE IMGCOPY) and then sent
(pqinsert) to downstream sites.
>Thanks,
No worries.
Cheers,
Tom
