Introduction to Overlaying Images
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology (ABoM) has developed routines that
allow McIDAS users to overlay imagery on top of any navigated display. These
applications are new in Unidata McIDA-X v2002.

The FRMOLAY command allows you to do overlay RAW radar or general BRIT
values from an image available by ADDE on top of any navigated McIDAS frame.
