OK, the proper way to do this is now described in this
article:
http://www.idlcoyote.com/map_tips/landcover.php
I've linked the data sets and a program for displaying
the data in the article if people want to play around
with it. Like so much satellite data, this data set
was weird, probably written incorrectly, and required
the programmer to make some reasonable guesses and
assumptions to come up with something sensible. In short,
it's a real world example. :-)
Cheers,
David
