Hi you all.

I am planning on rendering afly-by of some parts of the world ( with the
actual reliefs, seas and all).

I downloaded one so-called DEM files but did not manage to get anything

understand my nervousness. All the DEM utilities fail to read it ( and
the file is not corrupted as it is in a normal .tgz format and I can see
its content).

The readme file says :
"The DEM is provided as 16-bit signed integer data in a simple binary
raster.
There are no header or trailer bytes imbedded in the image.  The data
are
stored in row major order (all the data for row 1, followed by all the
data
for row 2, etc.)." ----> I tried to read it as a Raw file, but it
doesn't work. Am I right ?

I tried with a smaller file but no more luck.


Does anyone know if I can find somewhere on the net files which have
already been converted for height_fields use( TGA, PNG,....)

Thanks
