MIB -- General Tape to Database Image Transfer

Reads image data off a band sequential (BSQ), band interleaved by line (BIL), or band interleaved by pixel (BIP) tape, and transfers the data to image channel(s) in a database file. Often this task can be used when there is no task specifically available for the tape format. One example of this is EROS Data Center (EDC) LAS LGSOWG tapes.

The tape format may have a variable number of records before the image data, and a variable amount of non-image data at the beginning and end of the records. Image data can be packed with multiple lines per record, or with multiple records per line.

Progress of this program can be monitored. See MONITOR section.
