Does anyone use the PTU loader? If so, can I possible get a .ptu file, and
the corresponding terrain image and overlays?

The manual says the terrain height is calculated by the brightness of the
monochromatic image. Is this a limitation to between 0-255, or can you use
a 16-bit mono image to get better resolution?

In looking at the ptu loader code and the description of parameters in the
manual, they don't seem to be the same. Something for the doc
department...

For government users, I just got a copy of a program called MUSE, from the
DMA. It allows various sort of maps (imagery) to be created from just
about any DMA data format. I was able to extract out a nice tiff image of
an exact area from an ADRG CDROM in just a few minutes...
