Well, that's what I did. The format is very straightforward. If you
download the four sectiosn, each section has several files, but you'll
only need the DEM file. It has the height data stored in 5400 rows and
4800 colums, with 2 bytes for each pixel. Couldn't be simpler (also
couldn't be more bloated...).
If you have the four sections you can combine them to one fairly huge
heightfield - or at least cut out the part you need.
