       _r_._i_n_._m_i_a_d_s  allows  a  user to create a _r_._i_n_._a_s_c_i_i formatted ASCII file
       from a MIADS output printer format ASCII file.
       The program will actively read the MIADS data file, selectively	remove
       and process each strip, creating a individual _r_._i_n_._a_s_c_i_i formatted file
       for each strip, and finally create one category file  for  all  strips.
       The  program  also  produces  a	report	file summarizing all pertinent
       information for each strip.


       The resulting _r_._i_n_._a_s_c_i_i files for each strip are then used in conjunc-
       tion  with  the	GRASS commands _r_._i_n_._a_s_c_i_i and _r_._p_a_t_c_h to create a com-
       plete raster file.

       SCS has developed scripts _r_u_n_._m_i_a_d_s, _g_e_t_s_t_r_i_p,  and  _s_t_r_i_p_._9_9_s.	 These
       scripts make the MIADS to GRASS conversion easier.


       _r_u_n_._m_i_a_d_s -

	SCS macro to perform the complete conversion of a MIADS printer format
       data
	      set to a GRASS raster file.


       _g_e_t_s_t_r_i_p -

	 Reads	each  MIADS  strip file and converts it to a independent GRASS
       data
	      file.  Support may be run on any one of these strip files;  how-
	      ever, there is no category information  available.   Each  strip
	      may be viewed at this time with _d_._r_a_s_t or _d_._d_i_s_p_l_a_y.


       _s_t_r_i_p_._9_9_s -

	Special pre-_r_._i_n_._m_i_a_d_s macro that removes the 99's from the MIADS data
	      file.  This effectively removes border information, replacing it
	      with "no data" values.
