NAME
       ristosds - convert several RIS8 images to one 3D SDS

SYNOPSIS
       ristosds input-file-1, input-file-2...  [-o output-file]

DESCRIPTION
       ristosds  creates  a  single HDF file consisting of a three-dimensional Scientific Data Set (SDS) from a set of HDF files containing one or
       more raster images. All images in the input HDF files must have the same dimensions. If a palette is to be included  with  the  images,	it
       should  be  in the first HDF input file. Only one palette can be associated with the images; any additional palette data encountered by the
       utility after the first palette has been processed will be ignored.

OPTIONS
       -o outfile
	      Write the output to outfile.

EXAMPLES
       The contents of a directory consists of 20 files named "storm001.hdf", "storm002.hdf". ... "storm020.hdf". Each file contains a single RIS8
       with a 100 x 200 raster image. A file that combines these 20 raster images into a 32-bit floating-point SDS with the dimensions 100 x 200 x
       20 can be created with the following ristosds command:

	       ristosds storm*.hdf -o storm.hdf
