Yes, the array size is a manual thing... or Harald has shown another feature for extracting the dimensions that I was unaware of.

Well, that is nice.  Can some scripts solve this?  Or perhaps I could write a very generic routine based upon this concept.  Is there a way to send out a system command from within a C program and route the data back in somehow?  Would that be a (not very portable) solution?  If "convert" created a slightly more sophisticated format that contains the array dimensions and data point format, we could support that format.
