Karl's IPW experience

DEM into IPW

1) converted SierraBB-500m.tif to ASCII using ArcGIS Conversion Tools > From Raster > Raster to ASCII

2) stripped header with Wordpad

3) text2ipw dem.txt > dem.ipw

4) mkgeoh -c albers -u meters -o 389271.181648,-218640.76643 -d -500,500 dem.ipw > dem.geo.ipw

The result is an image with three headers. The upper left corner is referred to as line 0, sample 0.
