Matthew,

I have:

warmerda at amd64[39]% ls -R /usr4/mpp1/adrg/
/usr4/mpp1/adrg/:
TESTPA01.CPH  TPUS0101  TRANSH01.THF

/usr4/mpp1/adrg/TPUS0101:
TPUS0101  TPUS0101.GEN  TPUS0101.IMG  TPUS0101.OVR  TPUS0101.QAL  TPUS0102.IMG

/usr4/mpp1/adrg/TPUS0101/TPUS0101:
TPUS0101.SOU  TPUS01EL.L01  TPUS01GR.L01  TPUS01IN.L01


So, yes, I believe what I have is similar to what you have.

For this dataset I use the gltp url "gltp:/adrg/usr4/mpp1/adrg/TPUS0101"

For FWTools you can't enter this in the file selector so you need to do
it in advance at the commandline when launching openev from the FWTools
shell.

eg.
openev.bat gltp:/adrg/n:/usr4/mpp1/adrg/TPUS0101

Good luck,
