Re: Newbie tries to read in data file

[Jan Kreft <Kreft@Cardiff.ac.uk>]

Dear Konstantin,

thanks for your reply. I have raster data. I have read the appendix of the
user manual, but I can't read this test file in. Can you? And if so, how?
And if not, what's wrong with the file. The example I have found is
zinc.eas, which is a rather different format. As I have many files with
just the values, not x and y coord, as they are implicit in a regular
raster, I hope I don't have to change to much to read them in.

Many thanks, Jan.
