Jenny,
I would also like to have an early release of the DTED loader. This is
my current environment (will it work for me?)
Onyx RE2, 4xR4400, 1GB RAM, 4xRM5 (16MB TRAM)
Irix 6.2, Performer 2.1, Vega 3.0
IDO C, C++ translator

We are working with multiple resolution datasets (DTED I (100m) through
DTED V (1m)) and similar resolution texture images. Can the loader be
tweaked to support these different formats?

TIA,
Thom
