Thanks Adrian - I just grabbed a copy of Bryce's document which I was completely ignorant of.
It will probably turn out that my thoughts / needs will equate to a cheap hack relative to the systematic framework set out in the standard :) But in the event that I what I write for my own use looks like it could be more generally applicable I'll let you know. cheers Michael 2008/6/30 Adrian Custer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hey, > > You are starting to talk about real 'coverages' rather than 'grid > coverages'.
