Michael, Curtis

I just used IJ in its 'natural' state, without the Bio-Formats plugin -
actually very freshly installed straight from Wayne's website, no extra
plugins added and running the jre from the ImageJ subdirectory.  It
looked as though IJ was handling the .lei file but was stopped by a bug
which meant it couldn't find the images that the .lei referred to.  I
will see if I can get permission to send the files through to you Curtis.
