[FWTools] Newb problem - exporting

[Geoff Mark]

I'm not completely comfortable with CLI, but I think this might be a 
lost cause.  Using gdal_translate I get:

"'w001001.adf' not recognized as a supported file format."

This is the same file that loaded fine into OpenEV_FW.  OpenEV opened 
the file, I could see its loveliness, but I'm guessing it was too big 
(475 Mb.)

Can you think of another solution?

Best Regards,
Geoff
