Thanks again for the tips. Your suggestions are very helpful.

I was able to get the FWTools installed on the Windows Desktop. It
worked out very well. No issues with the GDAL included in this set of
binaries.

However, I am intrigued with the OSGeo Project, especially with the Qt
binaries included. After understanding GDAL, I'll have to build some
GUI applications to display the GeoTIFF, MrSID, and JPG2000. I was
planning to use Tkinter, but with Qt available from OSgeo4W, it will
give me an opportunity to explorer the GUI development offer by this
package.
