Dear SAGA users, we finally managed to implement a SAGA driver for GDAL, which will allow you to read and write SAGA grids from applications that use GDAL for import/export. Thanks to Even Rouault, Frank Wamerdam and Roger Bivand for their help! The driver is now in GDAL trunk and needs to be tested. I would encourage you to help us testing. If everything works fine, the driver will be available in GDAL 1.7 released within a few weeks. Those of you who compile SAGA theirselves could download GDAL trunk and build a custom GDAL library. Trunk compiles well under windows and linux. For all others who are willing to test I have prepared a new windows binary build on the [laserdata homepage][1] including a SAGA cvs snapshot from today and GDAL17dev library from today. You can use the GDAL Import/Export module to read and write SAGA grids, and verify the results by loading (or saving) them with SAGA directly/natively. Please report any problems you encounter with the driver, thanks, Volker [1]: http://www.laserdata.at/saga_packages.html
